Coler Mountain Bike Preserve Named a Top Southern Destination for Firefly Viewing

There’s something truly magical about watching fireflies dance in the summer dusk and this year, Coler Mountain Bike Preserve was honored for offering one of the best spots in the South to witness this natural wonder.

StyleBlueprint recently named Coler one of the “7 Magical Firefly Displays in the South,” recognizing the preserve’s unique role as a designated firefly sanctuary and a model for sustainable outdoor recreation.

At Coler, conservation and community go hand in hand. Protecting this rare habitat is part of what makes Coler so special, not just as a biking destination, but as a place to connect with the rhythms of the natural world.

Firefly Walks: A Community Favorite

In June, Coler’s guided firefly walks, organized in partnership with Arkansas Master Naturalists, gave participants a quiet, immersive experience into the world of fireflies. Spots filled up quickly, reflecting a growing desire among visitors to connect with nature in deeper and more meaningful ways.

From families and photographers to nature lovers and night hikers, people came to Coler not just to observe the fireflies, but to experience a moment of awe and stillness.

As interest continues to grow, so does our commitment to preserving this magical display for generations to come.
