Birdeye Gravel Festival
benefitting Crowley's Ridge Gravel Trail project
Rich in culture and beautiful rolling county roads, Crowley’s Ridge in the Arkansas Delta is one of those places full of authenticity.
Join us for the weekend in Birdeye - great gravel, farm fresh food, incredible hospitality, and fantastic music.
With beginner, intermediate, and challenging route options, there’s a ride available for all levels of cyclists. Routes are 75% gravel and 25% pavement, equal mix of farmland, levees and historic gravel lanes.
The fall harvest will be wrapping up in the farmlands while the leaves will be in peak color along the ridge.
For those of you that do not want to bike there will be plenty of other activities - yoga, sashiko, bocce, hammocking, cocktail making, or chill.

"It feels weird to charge people to be a guest in our home, but when I think of this event as a fundraiser for Crowley's Ridge Gravel Trail it does make sense." Kara

Crowley's Ridge Gravel Trail
| Crowley’s Ridge is a geographic anomaly that runs from southern Missouri all the way down to Helena. Born by windblown dust hitting river fog in the days of the woolly mammoth, this unique ecoregion is elevated 250 feet above the surrounding Mississippi Alluvial Plain. The proposed Crowley's Ridge Gravel Trail spans 249 miles - and 7,825' of elevation - connecting Piggott to Helena. This project is symbolic of studioDRIFT's commitment to the prosperity of rural Arkansas. Adventure recreation strengthens both the economy and the ecology of the Natural State. Quality of life begins with quality of place. |  |
