Written Directions

The route begins in Huntsville, AR and follows Route 23 through Eureka Springs, AR (25 miles). This route, in a way, is the "Northern Ancestor" of the world famous Arkansas Pig Trail as it in on the same Route 23 that the Pig Trail follows about 30 miles to the south.

Scenery

A beautiful mountain road passing through parts of the Ozark National Forest. You'll go past Withrow Springs State Park just north of Huntsville, then through Historic Eureka Springs. From this point you can continue north as described on another motorcycle ride on McR here: https://www.motorcycleroads.com/motorcycle-roads/missouri/missouri-route-86-ride-the-eagle

Drive Enjoyment

The road is a mixture of sweepers and twisties, and the asphalt is in great shape. While not overly technical, the radius of the curves is perfect for maintaining speed through the sweepers, making this a great route for big cruisers and crotch rockets alike.

Tourism Opportunities

Gas/food/lodging is available in both Huntsville and Eureka Springs.

great area to find small town atmosphere. Several small towns along the route with many great southern style restaurants. Eureka Springs always welcomes riders with anything from getting a drink, food , lodging, entertainment, anything else you can think of.

This is, like so many in this area of the country, a great ride! Our group visited the area when the Razorbacks were hosting a home game, so the back roads were lightly traveled and few cars or trucks were encountered. We did a poor job of planning gas stops, so when you make runs in this area, be sure to plan around places to fill up....think some of our group pulled in "on fumes". Hard to find better places to ride than the Ozark country.
