Ace of Spades - Blue - Wonderland's Paved Flow Trail

If you're looking for a blue-rated trail in Bella Vista that delivers pure, uncomplicated flow, Ace of Spades is the one. Rolling directly out of Eddie's RV — the central hub of the Wonderland Trail System — this 1,030-foot machine-groomed descent is built for rhythm and repeat laps, and the numbers back up its popularity: over 7,597 recorded activities and 18,033 check-ins make it one of the most-ridden trails in the entire system.

What sets Ace of Spades apart from nearly everything else in Wonderland is the surface. This trail is paved — a rarity in mountain biking — which makes it uniquely smooth and predictable while still delivering a genuinely engaging ride. Wide berms and a consistent 8.7% average grade let riders carry speed and stay in control as the trail weaves through the woods, dropping 90 feet of elevation along the way. A couple of reversal grades built into the trail even give confident riders the option to get a little air without ever leaving the pavement.

It's short — most riders complete it in about two minutes — but that's exactly the point. Ace of Spades is built to be lapped. The paved surface means consistency on every single run, and the trail intersects with Sally's Trail on the way back, offering a quick and efficient return to Eddie's RV for another go.

Best suited for intermediate riders or confident beginners, Ace of Spades is the reliable choice at Wonderland when you want speed, flow, and a clean return back to the hub — no surprises, no technical negotiation, just a smooth, fast trail that rewards riders who want to carry momentum and have fun doing it.
