If your coming from South Arkansas going North, dont miss out on a great ride. This year take the Pig Trail. Its one of the nicest rides in Arkansas and I take a trip up or down it whenever I can. It's good pavement with nice sharp twists, mellow curves and an occasional straight way. Riding the road at times is like going thru a tunnel of trees, then it suddenly starts twisting and curving along ridge tops. Lots of good scenary, a ride you'll not forget. I've ridden it from Waldron North into Missouri and it was all good, never a dull moment.
From the South, the small towns of Booneville and Ozark, the quaint little town of St. Paul, then on to Huntsville, a town that time has seemingly forgotten are precursers to the great vacation area of Eureka Springs. Eureka Springs with its Italian feel, with narrow roads and beautiful old homes is a sight to behold. Once you've been there, your sure to return.
Be sure to stop at the Turner Bend Store just before you cross the Mulberry River. If your into camping you can do it there and pick up a few suds for the camp fire. During optimum riding weather the store almost always has bikes out front. Also the ajacent camp ground is the site of the annual Turner Bend Rally, Hosted by The Booze Fighters MC. I've never been to it but I've heard its an interesting get together of friends.
Highway 23, take it easy, take in the smells and the sights and get lost in the charm of old Arkansas, you won't regret it.
Hwy 23 Ranks 10 on David and Cindy's scale of 1 to 10.
