About this city
Bella Vista is a sprawling, scenic resort and mountain biking paradise situated on the rocky ridges of the Ozark Mountains at the northern border of Arkansas. Originally conceived in 1915 as a summer resort town, it dynamically evolved into a premier planned community featuring seven private lakes, multiple championship golf courses, and thousands of forested acres. Today, it is globally celebrated as a premier hub for outdoor enthusiasts, tightly integrated into the world-class soft-surface trail network of Northwest Arkansas.
