Do any Razorback fans/residents of NW Arkansas have any recommendations for things to see and do in the area over a weekend? Will be down there in May for 3 nights.

What specific area will you be staying in and what brings you there? What are some of your interests/things you enjoy to do?

Will be staying in Fayetteville. Will definitely go to Crystal Bridges and walk around downtown Bentonville, but any recommendations on hiking trails or must see nature spots would be appreciated

Hiking on yellow rock trail,
Mt. Sequoyah overlook,
Crystal Bridges Museum,
Eurkea Springs,
Scenienc byway or pig trail loop,
Fayetteville Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings
If you're intrested in hiking and don't mind making a day out of it there's an enourmous amount of extremly gorgeous trails and scenery to hike within and 2 and a half hour drive of Fayetteville

I always recommend the Buffalo for anyone that likes carrying their canoe.

If you want to stay close to town (Fayetteville) Mt Kessler Regional park on the southwest side of town has miles of multiuse mountain biking/hiking/running trails. There are some overlooks on the mountain, and an area call "Rock City" (long walk from the park now since the alternative route is now closed).
Devil's Den State Park is a short drive south of Fayetteville. Miles of trails, and one the largest largest "crack" system topography. Highly recommend Devils Den.
If you like cycling, the Razorback Greenway (multiuse paved "trail" extends from Bentonville to Kessler Park. Bikes are readily available for rental.
Woolsey wetland prairie is located next to a wastewater treatment plant on the west side of Fayetteville. Formed during the building of the plant as midigation. Turned out there was probable a wetland prairie there at some time in the past, as it was immediately colonized by a great many species, some with no known occurrence within hundreds of miles.
There are numerous microbreweries if beer is one of your things.
Might also check to see if anything is playing at the AMP (Arkansas Music Pavilion) in Roger's. Get very well know artists there.
There is a rock climbing community, and many other groups.
There is much more. Probable look for regional groups on facebook for more options if you like.

Posted on 4/11/19 at 10:53 pm to TheXman
I recommend you go see Kansas, Oklahoma, or Texas. Nothing in Arkansas.

After you failed on your first attempt to post, I'm glad you found the courage to try again and add your stupidity to this thread.

Downtown Bentonville has better dining options than downtown Fayetteville now. You could dine out in both, and maybe spend a night hitting a few micro brewerines, which are spread all over the metro.
Lots of solid recommendations in this thread already.
If most of your free time is in the evenings, focus on seeing the downtowns of a few of the cities. Springdale isn't quite worth going to yet, unless you really love ciders. There is a handful of bars and a cidery down there which is really good. Otherwise, it isn't to the level of "just walk around and go in different places" in the way Fayetteville and Bentonville are.

Definitely go to Devils Den for some hiking/cave exploration. The caves themselves are closed due to bat issues, but you can at least climb down a bit to the entrances. It's also the setting for the 3rd season of True Detective. :)
