Heading down to Arkansas last week with a couple of buddies. Never been to the area, we're looking for good roads without the insanity of the Deals Gap area. We're staying in Harrison.
Really looking forward to this. Anybody have any wisdom about the area?

O goodness where to start. Anywhere in NW Arkansas is great. Head south on Hwy 7. Make sure to take 123 up to Mt. Judea (pronounced Mt. Judy). You'll be glad you did.

Look at the Google map around Harrison. You can't go wrong. I'm jealous.

When you headin to Arkansas. Mario Caruso's "Arkansas riders guide" is a good reference book for the state. Roads, food, lodging ect.

14 from Yellville to 5 (Sylamore).
341 PMR as already mentioned.
9 from Sylamore to Melbourne and back-killer road!
7 from Harrison to Jasper (good lunch spot at the Ozark Cafe) but one must be a hooligan and do multiple passes on the DY. Friend got cell phoned and ticketed on this road.
74 west of Jasper and back, Alpine-like section.
123 anywhere in AR! Has a northern tight section and then great sweepers going south.
23 south from Eureka Springs to Interstate-especially the pig trail.
You can make a couple of good loops out of these.

Sounds like you will have a good ride report to write later.
