Use this as a guide as well as the above recommendations. Arkansas is a true gem and great folks over there. Watch the WX as well.

As LoneBone mentioned most any of that area if not great it's at least good.
We go to eastern OK as often as we can to visit ol friends.
They ride as well so we have been all over that area

The ferry is a nice way to take a break and if ya have the time there is a Zip Line place in Eureka Springs if it didn't close with the covid crap..
For personal reasons we don't stay in Eureka Springs but the are good places near by.

It can get really HOT and is pretty humid anyhow. That gets tuff on a dessert redneck Whew.

Do Plan the pit stops especially for the ladys. There are lots of bushes and trees tho finding a place to pull over can be challenging. Lots of roads have little to no shoulder to pull off on.

The Waygu Burger from this place right next to Pig Trail Harley (http://www.rockinpigsaloonrogers.com) is without question THE best burger I've ever had anywhere!
They grow their own cattle.

^^ this. When a guy from TX tells you its hot, its hot.

Good roads.

My suggestion....make sure you leave any attitude at home, esp in very rural areas.

It depends where you go Davey.. Fayetteville, EK Springs, Hot Springs all wet.
You can get drinks in Russelville. Clarksville may be tough. Not sure about Jasper or Rogers or Harrison. Would bet Harrison you could get a drink though.

Hey Davey.... So I don't really get an idea of how many days you will be here.... AR. A lot of good points posted here. There is an old thread called 'Arkansas bucket list' that covers a lot. It is getting old, tho. Clinton now sells beer in stores and Harrison as well.

We love Eureka as well. Are you looking for loops? covering more area?
Marshall to Mt View has some great roads, but kind of far from the west side... Fayeville. How many miles is a long day for you? 27/14 or 66 and lots of rural hi ways between the 2 all make great days and good rides. Blanchard Springs is worth the visit. Get a map and scope out some roads.... not the online stuff, paper. I can mail you one?...pm me if you are interested.

Many of the roads here follow the ridges. Boxley area is great down on the river.

I feel there will be many areas in the northwest corner and over to Harrison to find plenty of roads for a full two days of riding. I am thinking of leaving on a wednesday and coming home on sunday. Most of the central part of the state I see is dry counties. Sometimes its kind of nice to stop in the afternoon and have a beer at a local pub is what I am looking at. Eureka Springs looks like it would be the nicest place for me to stay and lots of hotels
