Lake Fayetteville Trail is the one of the most popular of Parks and Recreation's Trails. The trail loops the lake with a combination of paved and natural surface shared by walkers, runners, and bikers. There is a variety of flora and fauna in natural settings as well as beautiful views of the lake, so take your camera. The trail offers benches, playgrounds and picnic areas, restrooms, informational kiosks and lighting. Be sure to stop at the rest areas on the beautiful, award winning, bridge spanning the lake spillway.
From Indiana, always enjoy walking new trails. this is a beautiful trail taking into consideration where it's located. A nice mix of wooded trail, open preservation areas. and then throw in the lake all in 5+ miles. Great job Springdale.
Just biked this trail for the 1st time and loved it!We’re beginners(3rd ride), so was probably more challenging for us and our 11 yr. old than most people. I see us going back weekly and riding this trail, because we enjoyed it so much.
Really love this little loop. Pretty easy path through lots of woods. A few exposed stretches. Only real complaint is that it's so close to the road in some places.
Nice trail that is close so if you are looking for a quick hike/bike ride/walk/etc. this is a good spot. It's a paved trail and does get busy. The trail was wide enough to accommodate everyone the day I was there (Tuesday).
❤❤❤ have walked it many many times
Nice trail right in the middle of town. Great trail to recharge!
We went in mid March so there wasn’t a lot of greenery but the trail was still beautiful. Fairly heavily trafficked even on Sunday morning. We rented terra trikes from the park marina and had a blast! The gentleman working was very nice & informative. We are pretty out of shape and biking the whole 6 miles took a little over an hour, including a few breaks. Definitely recommend the terra trikes!
It's a paved trail with many people, but it is big enough to accommodate the amount of people! This trail is well maintained and safe. It has lake views, many parks, disc golf, bathrooms, wildlife, waterfalls, and smaller trails if you are wanting to get a little "lost". Loved running here with my pooch!
Pretty easy trail with a beautiful view the majority of the time of the lake. My dog loved the trail!
Well maintained. Beautiful and relaxing.
Love this run
This is a fun beginners trail for single track mountain bikers. The trail south of the lake is a bit more challenging due to roots and rocks, but overall a fun trail. there is a paved trail that runs close by and occasionally both trails will cross paths.
Great trail for an afternoon hike. Especially suited for biking. Family friendly trail.
This is a great trail for road biking , mountain biking, or hiking. This trail links conveniently to the NWA Greenway.
We haven't visited since January, and they've done a lot of work on the trails! The dirt trail around the lake has been cleared nicely, and wooden walkways and bridges have been added in two parts. This is a great hike if you're looking for an escape from the face-full-of-spider-webs experience you'll be getting on more remote trails right now. Even though this is a well-traveled trail, you'll still get some alone time.
Very beautiful, great exercise. Well laid out. Scenery is great!
Very nice paths, occasionally can get confused as to which way is the path but has improved greatly.
I like to get out there early on the weekends, before the trails fill up with cyclers and walkers. It makes for a very peaceful walk, with the deer and other critters.
Very busy area. Lots of cyclists making the unpathed areas not conducive to trail running. I did enjoy the other areas.
Great family trail
The natural trail isn't too shabby. There are definitely some beautiful stretches but there are also sections that are almost uncomfortably close to busy roads and the sound of cars is near constant anywhere on the trail. All in all its a good place for a quick hike if you're in the area already.
Perfect for running and trail running
A nice trek around the lake, and if you don't mind wandering a bit, you don't need to spend much time on the paved path and can trek nearly all the way around the lake in the surrounding woods.
I'm not sure where AllTrails puts the trailhead, but a nice option is to park in the lot near the Botanic Gardens off of Crossover.
Doesn't get any better for a trail in the city. Easy for all. There are three parks and plenty of areas to sit and rest if needed. I would recommend you ch close it out if you're in the area and want a quick trip.
Great for those who want to walk their dogs, run, or cycle. Not enough nature emersion for me, but still a nice trail!
Great running/walking and cycling trail. Not really a place for outdoor exploration as such but there are some nice spots that you can go off the trail and explore the woods or around the waters edge.
Nice choice of wooded or paved trails.
