The Razorback Greenway Corridor Plan

The Razorback Greenway Corridor Plan is a regional planning framework that builds on the success of the Razorback Greenway to guide its long-term evolution as more than a recreational trail. The Plan examines the full length of the 40-mile corridor across seven Northwest Arkansas cities and establishes a shared vision for how the Greenway functions as an active transportation spine, public space, and organizing element for growth. The plan focuses on coordinating land use, mobility, design, and investment along the corridor, with strategies tailored to urban, suburban, and rural contexts. Importantly, the plan provides a regional framework that local governments can use to align policies, capital investments, and development decisions while respecting local character.

It identifies opportunities to:

• improve access, safety, and connectivity;
• strengthen links to neighborhoods, downtowns, parks, and transit; and
• support economic development and environmental stewardship.

The Razorback Greenway Corridor Plan Regional Framework was adopted by the RPC/Policy Committee on February 25, 2026, by Resolution #2026-03.

The Razorback Regional Greenway is a 40-mile, primarily off-road, shared-use trail that extends from south Fayetteville to the city of Bella Vista in Northwest Arkansas.  The Razorback Greenway is a project that has been years in the making. The concept of a regional greenway project has been a goal of regional planners, cities, and residents of Northwest Arkansas for more than two decades. This vision was supported by the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission since the the early 2000’s when it began a long-range planning process that included regional trails as a key component. A task force formed by NWARPC conducted public meetings and facilitated a coordinated effort among the communities of Northwest Arkansas. The full length of the Razorback Greenway was officially dedicated on May 2, 2015. In July 2018 the Razorback Greenway was extended along Little Sugar Creek north into the City of Bella Vista to Mercy Way street.
