Little Deer Run

Starting out in lush farmland this route passes through the rolling foothills to quickly take you into the Ozarks.

Keep an eye out while on 123 for Dinosaurs!

One point of intrest along this route is Haw Creek Falls. These are wide, shallow falls that drop about five feet from a rock ledge very near the picturesque Haw Creek Falls campgrounds in the Ozark National Forest. It's a great place to stop and stretch your legs while admiring some natural beauty of Arkansas.

Depending on the range of your bike, you may want to consider filling up before reaching 123.

Keep in mind if you're doing a Sunday journey many of the local filling stations may be closed on this rural route, so it may be wise while on highway 7 to take the additional 15 miles to Jasper.

Pig's Tail

Starting on the level terrain of the Arkansas River Valley but soon winding up the mountain sides highway 21 is a local favorite. Switching up at the backbone of the Ozarks known as Highway 16 this route is full of curves and wonderful scenery culminating at the famous Pig Trail of highway 23.

The route crosses the Mulberry River and the 165-mile Ozark Highlands Trail. While switching from 16 to 23 you're just a short distance away from Eureka Springs, where scores of restaurants, shops, lodging facilities and attractions are definitely worth a visit. This biker-friendly town always has something going on. Cabins and camping are available on the byway at Turner Bend. If you're on a dual sport nearby White Rock Mountain Recreation Area offers dramatic views of the surrounding Ozarks and camping.

Mount Magazine Run

This ride spends a great deal of time in the rolling delta of the Arkansas river. The highlight of the trip is of course beautiful Mount Magaine.

Named by French explorers for its barn-like silhouette, Mount Magazine rises over the sprawling Arkansas River Valley in west central Arkansas. At 2,752 feet above sea level, Mount Magazine is the highest point in Arkansas.

Here, you’ll enjoy magnificent vistas of the broad river valley, the surrounding Ozark National Forest and distant mountains like Petit Jean and Mount Nebo. Mount Magazine has lured and fascinated explorers, naturalists, scientists and travelers for centuries.

Petit Jean Run

A half-day ride up to the Petit Jean State Park and and you might visit the Rockefeller Museum of Automobiles.  Located on Petit Jean Mountain, the Museum of Automobiles was founded in 1964 by the late Arkansas Governor, Winthrop Rockefeller.  It housed his collection of Antique & Classic Automobiles until 1975, when the Collection was sold, and the building and grounds donated to the State of Arkansas, Department of Parks.

Jasper Disaster

Starting out in lush farmland this route passes through the rolling foothills to quickly take you into the Ozarks. Unlike Little Deer run this route continues on 123 all the way into Jasper. This part of 123 is sometimes known as Arkansas' Dragon Tail.

This route has everything from great scenery, tight hairpin corners to nice sweeping corners.

While switching from 43 to 21 consider going north to visit Kingston for a real feel of Arkansas Ozark mount town hospitality.
