Written Directions

Take Exit 45 off of Interstate 49. Take Highway 74 (Devil's Den Road) west for 9 miles to the CCC overlook just past Devil's Den State Park on HIghway 170.

Scenery

Mountains, valleys, rivers. This ride has it all. Ok, maybe not "rivers" but you do see Lee Creek and the recreation area created by the CCC at Devil's Den. If you've got the time, you may want to go spelunking in one of the caves that give the park its name.

Drive Enjoyment

Due to the sharp switchbacks and steep angles, trailers over so many feet are not allowed on this road. That should tell you what you're up against on this ride. Be careful on those turns as some have gouges where people drag trailers around them.

Tourism Opportunities

There is a gift shop with snacks available at the park but other than that you are on your own.

I did this section of as part of an "across the state" ride of AR-74. While the Devil's Den area is nice, it wasn't one of my favorite roads as it wasn't in good condition.

This can get tight around the turns. Watch out for cars but still take the time to enjoy the beautiful scenery around you.
