This
short stretch of road is before Eureka Springs Arkansas.
It is one of the most scenic stretches of roads in
all of northwest Arkansas - you won't be disappointed.

Springs has become a gathering spot for bikers. With
several "Bikers ONLY" hotels and leather shops
it is a happening place for those of us on two wheels.
Note: Eureka Springs has started cracking down on loud pipes,
ticketing those ribbing their engines.
Hwy
62 runs from Rogers Arkansas over to Eureka
Springs. The last seventeen miles between
Gateway and Eureka Springs is the best.
If you are coming from Missouri take hwy
37 south out of Monett MO. down thru Seligman
MO. into Gateway then east on Hwy 62.

The eastern half of this route (from Gateway to Eureka Springs) is always the first thing we see when we come to AR (and the last we see when we leave!). We can feel the stress melt away. The road is really nice. Not too challenging, but there are a few pretty tight turns as you near ES. The farther east you get, the more you start to see the big bluffs & valleys.
Highway 62 is a good ride but there are many much better just a stones throw off of highway 62. Be aware of LEO's and mind the speeds on turns. The map makes note of a crackdown in Eureka on loud pipes. The police are now carrying decibel meters. If you drive on Spring Street and rap your pipes you will be ticketed. Ride as quietly as your bike permits.
