Written Directions

Really easy to describe and find ... just get yourself to Sparta, MO (about 20 miles southeast of Springfield). From Sparta take State Route 125 south all the way into Yellville, Arkansas ... about 60 beautiful miles.

Scenery

The many hills of the Ozarks, as well as the wide variety of vegetation, makes this a really enjoyable ride. Travels a good bit through the Mark Twain National Forest. This is one ride not to be missed!

Drive Enjoyment

Many, Many twists and curves, in what is surely one of the best roads in the Ozarks. Certainly one of the local favorites for a great time enjoying the local roads and hills. Continuing into Arkansas will bring you to an old ferry which will take you across Bull Shoals Lake. Offers a great chance to stop and rest.

Tourism Opportunities

Several small towns along the way provide an opportunity to stop and grab a beverage or a bite to eat. This is not the main reason to travel this route.

The pavement is great, the ferry ride is unique, and the MO side is a roller coaster. Even in the rain, this ride was pure fun. Dry would make this ride adrenaline bliss.

My daughter and I rode Hwy 125 from the Peel Ferry to Bradleyville. What a blast!!! Loved it so much we turned around at Hwy 76 and rode back South about 20 minutes, turned around and headed North again. Excellent road conditions, little to zero traffic (it was mid-day on a Saturday). Next time we'll ride the entire route.

I rode this in early May 2021, in the rain and upper 40s temperatures. Even with that, it's a fun ride. Lots of good curves and hills, and the part between Reuter and Chadwick through the Mark Twain National Forest is especially scenic.
