I'm taking a group up to Eureaka Springs for a couple of days, then down to Hot Springs, before heading back to Dallas. We plan to hit the Pig Trail, Scenic 7 and the Arkansas Dragon. What other roads are "don't miss" and what are your favorite places to grab a bite to eat?

Thanks,
Bear

 

Pizza at Chelsea's Corner Bar & Grill.

 

Pea Ridge Battlefield is nice............

 

Got plans for riding over there Saturday and meeting up with friends at the Pied Piper.
If you go down the Pig Trail, make a left (east) on 215 to Oark and then go south 103.

 

All the roads in the NW corner rock. AR23 the pigtrail is a great road watch for oncoming trucks.
Southern MO has great roads as well.
Hwy 125 crosses Bull Shoals lake on a Ferry. Kick *** road. Look for 16 it kicks some serious butt as well. Then theres 123 and 14.
They all rock stay away from 7 its cool but lots of traffic.

 

While in Hot Springs you should eat at McClards BBQ, it's the best in town!

 

Ermilio's Italian in ES. Some of the best Italian we've ever found.

 

First, be careful of the Hwy #s I give, working off memory, I just go there. Anyway, the Talimena Trail, I think it is 88 out of Mena, AR to Hwy 1 in OK great ride lakes and twisting mountain road, just wish they had something a little more entertaining at the end, but still a great ride to get away from it all and I mean away from it. Good place to eat in the middle of it at the steam locomotive.

 

McClard's good place to eat where the President ate whilst chasing women so he could be governor. Bath House row a lot of history and motorcycles parked there every weekend , even saw one of those 504 cu in big hogs a few times, man if he ever dropped that he'd need a tow truck to stand it back up. Lot of good restrauants right on down Central Avenue to the south side of town. Good places to eat is Rocky's and Rod's, McClard's if you want to maybe sit in a booth the ex-President did, while day dreaming about being governor of Arkansas. The nostalgia of McClard's makes the food taste great, and the food is great there so don't get me wrong.
