Tanyard Creek Nature Trail

After visiting the Wal-Mart Museum, we hiked the Tanyard Creek Nature Trail in Bella Vista, Arkansas, north of Bentonville. The trail was built and is maintained by volunteers in an outstanding natural area featuring limestone cliffs and 2 creeks. Over 200 signposts name and describe flora and geologic features as you traverse the nearly 3 miles of trails, crossing the creeks several times.


Water spilling out of Windsor Lake Dam creates this rushing waterfall...




... and cascades. Benches are scattered along the trail, including one to view the waterfall and cascades.


A swinging suspension bridge is also a highlight of the hike.



After the hike, we returned home and took further advantage of the 57 degree sunny day with a 45 minute bike ride to start getting the biking muscles in shape for the season.
