The grant will underwrite a large part of Adventure Cycling’s research and cartography work to develop the new 1,100 mile Arkansas High Country Mountain Bike Route, along with maps and digital navigation products.

In addition to connecting communities and significant area attractions — such as eight state parks, 15 Forest Service campgrounds, nine Corps of Engineers parks, three national parks, and many fishing opportunities — the route will showcase the geological diversity, splendid natural areas, and welcoming accommodations of northwest Arkansas.

MoBikeFed comment: MoBikeFed has been working with mountain biking groups to create a 280-mile mountain biking route along the Ozark Trail in Missouri.

This 1100-mile Arkansas trail represents the type of project other states are undertaking - and highlights how important it is for Missouri to put its best foot forward with similar projects.
