While the weather in Northwest Arkansas is pleasant nearly year-round, we do get the occasional bout of rain and storms. Here are some wet weather routes and trail condition resources for when you plan your route to go riding or hiking. A good rule of thumb is if you’d leave a footprint in the dirt/mud, don’t ride it.
