What kind of info do you need? I ride down to Arkansas at least twice a year for riding, including the Pig Trail. All if not most of the roads in NW Arkansas are just plain fun to ride. Push Mountain is still my personal favorite. When I go down there it is for a rally and we stay at the HUB, great place and in the middle of good roads. http://hubinfo.com/index.html

Get a Butler map of the Ozarks great info and the pig trail is NOT the best ride. My favorite ride was 123 from Hagarville to Mount Judea. There wasn't much traffic on it and semi's aren't allowed. There's nothing like being on the pig trail in a corner and looking up and there's an 18 wheeler heading in your direction.

If you do ride ride AR 23 stop at Turner Bend store. Just because everybody does.
They make good sandwiches BTW. The "Pig Trail" is actually only about 15 miles long.
In several places the canopy of the trees cover the road. If you like shifting gears it's your kinda road.
There are several U turns. Some people like to call them other things but to me there just U turns.

Just north of Turner Bend is AR 215. It runs on the north side of the Mulberry river.
We've had plenty of rain lately and the river will be flowing. It's a nice ride.
It will take you to AR 103. Head south on 103 to Clarksville.
Take AR 21 (aka Ozark Highlands Scenic Byway) north out of Clarksville.
