A good short trip would be to Roaring River State Park about 7 miles from Cassville. Mo.&nbsp\\; It's a 20 miles out of ES and there is a nice old trout hatchery and lodge there.&nbsp\\; Good roads and worth seeing.&nbsp\\; Great Trout fishing and RV park there.&nbsp\\; Easy trip from ES and the drive going north out of ES through Eagle Rock at Table Rock Lake is a neat drive, IMO.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Right now being loud isn't too popular in ES.&nbsp\\; We camp in this area every year for the last 35 years.&nbsp\\; Be safe - it rains there alot too.&nbsp\\;

From ES, take 23 south to highway 12 and then go back west to War Eagle.&nbsp\\; Really cool grist mill on the War Eagle river.&nbsp\\; Be sure to eat lunch at the mill.&nbsp\\; Get the beans and cornbread with cobbler for dessert.&nbsp\\; Continue on highway 12 to Rogers and then take highway 62 back to ES.&nbsp\\; Stop at the Pea Ridge National Civil War Park on highway 62 and look at the meuseum and ride through the battlefield.&nbsp\\; Also ride up the the Beaver Lake dam on highway 62 on the way back.&nbsp\\; Stop and check out the Blue Springs on 62 as well.&nbsp\\; Great ride, lots of things to see and more than enough twisties.

+1 on this advice. Wife and I did exactly this on our trip to Bikes, Blues &amp\\; BBQ last October. Definitely worth the trip to see all of it.

&nbsp\\;
NOTE:&nbsp\\; Eureka Springs is one of those places that has become less "Harley-friendly" as they are enforcing their subjective noise ordinance(s) and ticketing bikes with loud pipes.&nbsp\\; Just be aware.&nbsp\\; Apparently the locals don't want the noise but I haven't seen them decline the money infused by the bikers who frequent their establishments....
&nbsp\\;
Just a word of warning...

You can take 62 from ES east to Harrison and take Hwy 7 as far as you want to ride. Stop and Scenic Point (beautiful view). You'll cross the Buffalo river, etc.
&nbsp\\;
You won't regret any roads you take up there. It's all good.

+1 on Roaring River and the Pigtrail.
&nbsp\\;
Mount Magazine state park is not too many miles off of the Pig Trail, if you are interested in visiting another scenic area.

Buffalo river area around Jasper I promise it is one of the prettiest areas in America as a matter of fact Whitaker point was on the cover of the Rand Mcnally road atlas in 06, you should definitely check it out..
