Elm Springs
A rare north-of-Fayetteville loop linking Johnson, Tontitown and Elm Springs, with Brush Creek Road, Lake Elmdale and a return through Springdale.
About Elm Springs
Elm Springs is one of the few RideFYV routes that pushes north of Fayetteville, linking Johnson with the quieter country roads around Tontitown and Elm Springs.
The route works northwest through the Tontitown area before crossing Highway 412 and heading north on Brush Creek Road. After reaching Elm Springs, it crosses Highway 112 and follows the edge of Lake Elmdale before turning south through the western side of Springdale.
It’s a useful way to learn the limited but worthwhile road network north of town, while adding another connection between Fayetteville and the rural roads beyond Tontitown.
