Roads to Ride around Eureka Springs?

**smokier** · 05-20-2015, 07:37 AM

Greetings All,

I have an opportunity to spend two days in Eureka Springs (Ark) next month. Unfortunately, not during the rally.

For those of you who have been in that area, which roads stand out for the twisty, fun to ride, scenic tours?

Thanks in advance.

Ride safe,

Smokier

In a nutshell, all of them. But listen to Budman. He won't steer you wrong about this.

Smokier if your in the southern half of Missouri or the northern half of Arkansas you'll have a choice of so many twisty scenic routes, you can actually spend several months just picking and riding. I'm sure Budman will attest to that as well. You won't run out of choices for sure. I never have been to the tail of the dragon, but I have to chuckle when i watch the you tube video's about it. Around these parts that's just considered a normal road. Only difference is that the speed limit for our twisties is usually 55 mph.

If you don't have a GPS buy a butler map of the Ozarks. It will have all the roads
Dave mentioned highlited.

Heavy rains have caused a mudslide on AR 23 north of Cass.
My understanding is this section of the road will be closed for several weeks.
If your trip is early in June be sure to check if the highway has reopened.

Thanks for the tips. I will double check for AR23...
Thanks again.
