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!"
(See
Map) Hwy 215 is located just north of Cass
Arkansas off Hwy 23 (better known as the
Pig Trail). Take 215 east as it runs through
Oark, AR and finally runs into Hwy 21 (Ozark
Highland Byway).

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.

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.

Great ride! Road is pave all the way through. Qark General Store has new owners and some of the best food for miles. You have to make this ride... You will not be sorry!!!

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.
I've ridden the general area around here and Highway 215 is news to me! I plan to try it on my next trip to the Ozarks. To the OP: Thanks for taking the time to post this!
