Out of Eureka Springs I love the loop to the little village of Beaver next to the White River on Hwy 187. The single lane planked suspension bridge across the river is a blast to ride across.
Hot Springs is a good stop over spot. Make sure you ride up East Mountain and West Mountain on either side of town. Check out McClard's BBQ too.
From Hot Springs, north on Hwy 7 all the way to Jasper is a great ride. From Jasper I'd cut northwest to Eureka Springs . . . any road you take will be a good one.
The Pig Trail is nice, but I wouldn't go way out of my way just because it's so short.

Stop in at Pig Trail Harley store right next to the Rockin Pig Saloon in Eureka Springs. They have a whole section of rides/routes named after different bikes Free for the taking.

The Hub restaurant and motel sets between Harrison and Jasper on Hwy 7. A lot of folks "headquarter" there. You are right in the heart of the best riding area. People like Eureka Springs because there are "night spots" and several good restaurants. Depends on what you are looking for I guess. Good info below. One of the links below has the routes you need to choose from. PM me if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them. (this is home territory for me.)

I have to agree, The best road in Arkansas for a bike. Well maintained, low traffic, and good scenery. Offers a few good challenges for even experienced riders. I would recommend running it from the Mount Judi end all the way to Clarksville and then maybe coming back down to 7 and going through Jasper. Fill up before running there are no stations or stores , just damn fine ride to clear the mind.
Shoot me a message if you are in the area and want to ride. If I don't have club stuff or work going on I am always up for burning up Ar roads. We have a lot to choose from. Some well kept secrets, and others that are over publicized and over rated.

Mine too!!! A Butler Map of The Ozarks would be a great investment for anyone riding the area, it's literally crawling with G-1 roads and your "bucket list" will become a barrel. When you carry one of these, ride plans can be changed on the fly. I just wish they would mark wet and dry counties for proper base choices.

I Lived in Mountain View and am in the process of buying a place in Higden. I can put a bucket list together of runs using google maps for anyone that wants them. I average over 15k a year running the roads in Ar. I tend to avoid alot of the more publicized stuff and just stick to twisty rolling scenery.
