RouteXpert Review This route runs from south to north through the state of Arkansas.
The start is near El Dorado just outside of Lockhart on the state line with Louisiana and the end point is in Diamond City near the state line with Missouri. This ride is also called the Scenic 7 Byway.
Approximately 60 miles from the highway that runs through the Ozark and Ouachita National Forests has been designated by the US Forest Service as part of the National Forest Scenic Byways system. While traveling through the Ouachita and Ozark Mountains on the Scenic 7 Byway you can enjoy striking mountain scenery and beautiful fall colors.
There are numerous recreational areas that offer opportunities for camping, hiking, mountain biking, canoeing and horse riding along or within a few kilometers of the highway.
Along the way you will pass several beautiful bridges, some of which I have marked with yellow route points.
This route is a total of 312 miles and you can do a lot on the way and it is therefore advisable to spend the night on the way, the first option is in Hot Springs (RP11), here are several hotels. In Hot Springs you can enjoy and relax from the many hot springs in the Hot Springs National Park (RP12), also called "The American Spa" because of its 47 thermal springs. The second is The Cliff House Inn (RP22) in the Ozark Mountains near the, this is a hotel restaurant built on a cliff with spectacular views.
This route has beautiful roads with many curves through the mountains and nature reserves of Arkansas and is enjoyable on the motorcycle and in the car.
This route gets 4 stars.
