Motorcycle Rides in the Ozark Mountain Southern Region

Eureka Springs Motorcycle Rides

Fall is here and that means the Best Riding in the country. Here in a few weeks will mark the most vibrant viewing time of the fall foliage.  You’ve heard of the Pig Trail…it is a nationally acclaimed journey on the Ark. 23 byway…but what about Highway 43 and 16?

While there are a few segments to Highway 43, the portion that begins at Highway 21 in Boxley and ends at AR 7 in Harrison is particularly noteworthy. This drive runs north near the Buffalo River. Keep a look out for herds of elk that like to gather near the roads in the morning or near dusk. Read more about elk in Arkansas.

Highway 16 on the other hands begins at US 412 in Siloam Springs and runs south through the Ozark National Forest. Through the forest into Fayetteville and out, 16 meets AR 74 near Elkins. This drive winds nicely allowing for beautiful views on both sides of the road. Take some time to visit the chill, college town that is Fayetteville.

You’ll find once you hit the road and are headed to northwest arkansas that it is hard to turn around. The views only grow more spectacular and a new vista awaits you around every corner. You never know when you will get a glimpse of a beautiful overlook or a peak of a sunbathed valley.

Looking for hints on where to stay.  The Crescent Hotel is on TOP of the PIG TRAIL while the Basin Park Hotel is in the Heart of Downtown with covered and locked Motorcycle Parking.  Both offer Biker rates
