Trail Description:
Pigeon Creek and Wolfley Hole are two systems connected by a steep side-slope trail, where a small section of portage is required along a bluff face. Pigeon Creek trails are being continually expanded, and are very well groomed, nice beginner trails, and FAST for experienced riders.
Wolfley Hole is a little more rugged and technical, as well as being more remote. Recommend riding with a local for these trails.
The Park at Pigeon Creek offers a swim area, and boat launch. No facilaties or drinking water, no camping at this day-use area.
How to get there:
From Mountain Home, take Hwy 201 North approx five (5) miles. As soon as you cross the Pigeon Creek Bridge, a trailhead is on your left and the Park is on the right. Trails are on both sides of the Hwy.

This system was designated a National Recreation Trail in June 2001. A very thorough web site with Maps and Photos is at www.norfork.com/cycling/

I took a road trip from Memphis to this area of Arkansas for canoeing and to ride these trails. I must agree that these trails are well maintained, and extensive, and I'll qualify my remarks by saying that I'm fairly new to mountain biking. That said, I really didn't care for the rocky terrain. I guess that comes with the mountainous landscape, and it might just be a subjective riding preference, but I prefer the rolling terrain and smooth rides I encounter on the trails in the Memphis area. Oh, the statement in the desciption about the lack of facilities is true. There is a physical bathroom, but it seems to be perpetually locked based on indications made by a local graffito.

I rode this trail a year ago, and was very impressed. Last week I rode it again and I cant begin to tell you how sweet it is. The bike club in Mt Home has been busy. There were at least 3 new trails about 2 miles each that I rode. I met some local riders that told me to look for a 40 mile trail system within 2 years. I cant wait. Most of this trail is like a race course with lots of fast places and the climbs can be long but are well designed. If you havnt been here its worth a day trip or even a weekend.
