Not much on this road as far as amenities. Just you and the gentle curves and great scenery!

Photo contributed by Mike Whaley: "Stopped at a "scenic overlook" and shot this of the Mulberry River. Late April, '09. Great ride. Best have your motorcycle skills up to par! Killer 1/2 lb. cheeseburger at the Oark General Store. Don't order the double!"

Comment: I rode this road yesterday. (09/23/2011) The construction is completed. The route is paved all the way from Cass on AR 23 through Oark and on to Catalpa. Catalpa is about 4 miles east of Oark. From Catalpa to Ozone, the road IS NOT PAVED. That being said, the road south from Oark to Clarksville (AR 103) is fantastic. In addition to the Oark General Store, the General Store at Catalpa, where the pavement ends has fantastic pies. You have to ride about 500 feet of gravel to get there.

Comment: I rode 215 from Oark west to Hwy 23 on July 25, 2010. There is some serious construction going on about 2 miles west of Oark. About a 3 mile stretch was pretty rough. The sign says it will be under construction until Spring 2011. This is a great road, but don't go there until next spring. It will be even better after the eastern section is fully redone.

Comment: Great little road. I have taken it many times, it follows the Mulberry River with a few goods looks at the river down below. Take it from highway 23 to Oark and then highway 103 south to Clarksville or vice versa, you won't be disappointed either way. By the way I had a close encounter with a black bear last spring running out in front of me, what a thrill, I scared him as much as he scared me. Be safe.

Comment: Really nice, but after lunch at Oark, which is a must, I ran into gravel just a short stretch later. Did I make a wrong turn? Doubled back and went down 103 out of the mountains and cut across east on some little county road before Clarksville and picked up 21 north. This was also a great route. Sorry I didn't pay attention to the C.R. number.

Comment: A nice road with gorgeous scenery. A good side trip from the Pig Trail. No amenities, just lots of the best the Ozarks have to offer.
