Written Directions

(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).

Scenery

This route runs near the legendary Pig Trail. It is a not-so-well known route running thru the Boston Mountains with great views of the Mulberry River.

Drive Enjoyment

Smooth road with lots of curves and very little traffic.

Tourism Opportunities

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!"

This is now one of our newest scenic byways. Not for mountain views or drop-offs, but a valley ride. The road follows the Mulberry River from the intersection of AR-23 to AR-21. For those of you needing asphalt, be aware that the last few miles (from just east of Oark to AR-21) is dirt. The best route is to come up from Clarksville on AR-103 and intersect 215 just west of Oark, then turn west. However, you can't miss eating lunch at the Oark Café (don't worry, it's alphalt all the way to Oark).

While I agree this is a great ride, be aware that the eastern 6-7 miles of this road (between Oark and highway-21) is dirt. For cruisers, you'll need to turn around at Oark and head south on highway-103 and towards Clarksville.

I agree it's a hidden gem. I came on this road almost by accident. You can't go much further than Oark cause it turns to dirt, but from Oark to Hwy-23 is a great road. It's short enough to turn off of Hwy-23 and go to Oark (for lunch) and back.
