MTB biking in Fort Smith area

Felt this was probably the best place to drop this question. Looking to be in the Fort Smith area of Arkansas in November and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for good trails to try out for an intermediate level. Thanks for any help.

Come up to Bentonville. The riding up here is awesome. Lots of great trails.

You might also try the Travel board. There's a poster or two there who know a lot about MTB in NW Arkansas.

Devil's Den is going to be your closest primo riding. Then Kessler and Centennial in Fayetteville, which are probably about the same amount of travel time as going to Devil's Den, but Devil's Den is a "can't miss" trail system.
In Fort Smith you have Spring Hill park and Ben Geren. Neither are anything to write home about. Lake Alma park is opening on Saturday with 4 miles of XC trails that are supposed to be decent. Colley Park in Van Buren has some decent flow/jump lines, but it's often in disrepair.
But really... just go ride Devil's Den. You won't regret it. Here's a trailforks route I put together that navigates through some of the best stuff out there:

If you decide to do Kessler/Centennial, I'll be happy to give you some suggested routes there as well.
Here's some obligatory footage from the two places from my kid's Instagram:
