The ride

The paved path winds past the famous stone castle, the pool, the creek and big shade trees on a gentle, fully-protected loop. It's barely a mile, which makes it ideal for little legs or a relaxed roll rather than a workout.

Good to know

There's parking at the park and plenty to do off the bike — playground, pool in summer, and the storybook Wilson Park Castle that every Fayetteville kid knows. An easy add-on to a Dickson Street or Scull Creek outing nearby.

Highlights

  • Short, flat, fully protected — built for kids
  • Loops past the storybook Wilson Park Castle
  • In Fayetteville's oldest park, near downtown
  • Pairs well with the nearby Scull Creek Trail
