Written Directions

This route starts at the intersection of Hwy 7 and Hwy 123 which is about 40 miles north of Russellville, AR in a town called Lurton, AR. From here take Hwy 123 northeast up to Mt Judea.

Scenery

The scenic is great if you get time to look. The switchback are around every corner. So many in fact, trucks are not allowed on this road!

Drive Enjoyment

There are more curves and switchbacks in these 15 miles. The views are great if you can take your eyes off the road long enough to look. Sorry no photos at this time, I was to busy scrapping my sideboards over the 15 miles of turns and, because they don't allow trucks on this road, the road is in great shape.

Tourism Opportunities

No amenities - just curves.

I like this road from Western Grove all the way to Clarksville. Also like the side roads to Jasper and back to Hwy 7. Rode it this past Saturday

This is the best route in Arkansas, in my opinion. However, I would start the route down in Hagarville and follow 123 all the up to Mt Judea. Fantastic ride with plenty of scenery and lots of curves. From Hiway 7 up to Mt Judea is nice because you can see around most of the curves.
