Wake up, roll out, and ride one of Arkansas's legendary IMBA Epic trails.
Just a mile from Riverglen, the Womble Trail is a true Arkansas classic and one of the state's coveted IMBA Epic-rated rides, a flowing ridgeline singletrack famous for its long, rolling miles and big Ouachita views. As a linear, point-to-point trail running roughly 37 miles end to end, it's easy to bite off as much or as little as you like and shuttle back to the start.
Pack a lunch and enjoy the ridgeline. Looking for more? The Forche and Lake Ouachita Vista (LOViT) trail systems are within an easy drive, giving you days of riding without ever repeating yourself, then roll back to the homestead each evening to rinse off, refuel and rest those legs.
A classic Arkansas singletrack, and the first of five IMBA Epic trails in the state.
Tight, natural-surface singletrack that follows the ridgelines with rolling, punchy climbs and fast, flowing descents.
A point-to-point trail roughly 37 miles end to end, ride out-and-back, or set a shuttle for one big push.

There's no charge to use the Womble Trail. Just show up, pick a trailhead and pedal.
Drinking water is not available at the trailheads, pack plenty for the ridgeline.
