Craighead Forest Park is eastern Arkansas’ premiere mountain bike trail system

Craighead Forest Park in Jonesboro, Arkansas, has recently undergone an $800K trail upgrade, adding eight miles of mountain bike trails. This expansion is part of a larger plan to develop the park into a premier mountain biking destination in eastern Arkansas. The project, completed in 2024, has introduced new and updated trails, catering to various skill levels, and has also preserved some of the park's legacy trails. The park's unique topography, atop Crowley’s Ridge, offers challenging terrain for bikers, and the area is seeing increased interest from both locals and out-of-state visitors.

Today's mountain bikes are the cheapest they've been in a decade. We have the receipts.

This article from Singletracks Mountain Bike News discusses how inflation-adjusted prices for mountain bikes have remained the same or decreased over the past decade, despite the perception that they have become more expensive. The analysis shows that the average price of bikes from major brands like Giant, Trek, and Specialized has actually decreased by a few hundred dollars when adjusted for inflation. Additionally, the performance of modern bikes has significantly improved with better components and features, making them a better value than in 2017.
