I've done it this route on my bike and in my car several times in the past few years... I have a friend that lives just outside of Stover. The route is very hilly and curvy. WATCH OUT FOR THE TURTLES! If you have time stop by Grandma's Candy Kitchen in Bagnell Dam.... they have the best variety and tasting fudge and taffy!

Ran a good portion of the loop last weekend. Hwy's MM and TT have new blacktop and are smooth as silk! WHAT FUN! Be sure to stop in at Leather Man on the strip!

While I haven't ridden this route yet, it's now one of Harley-Davidson's "50 Rides, One Nation" challenge rides for HOG members. https://maps.harley-davidson.com/share/rides/lYrrYGn24

Very nice cycle roads with lots of hills and curves. Not much traffic on a Monday. Quick easy loop if your staying in the Ozark Lake area.

Finally rode this route on July 4th. As mentioned in my previous comment, it's the Missouri entry in Harley-Davidson's "50 Rides, One Nation" contest as part of HOG's Ride 365 program. As Missouri routes go, it's pretty average, and fairly easy by Missouri Ozarks standards. The most slow speed turns are on Hwy W on the east side of the route, with a number of 30 and 35 MPH turns, with a handful of 20-25 MPH turns (and one 15 MPH turn) as you get close to Bagnell Dam. The first mile past the dam is a tourist strip, and can be stop-and-go with heavy traffic (with angled parking along the street) and lots of pedestrians crossing, depending on the day that you're there. The Hwy 5 section is a disappointment - it's gotten very built up, and is more like riding in the suburbs. Once on Hwy 135, you can open the throttle up (depending on traffic), as the road is rolling and flowing, with very few slow speed turns. All in all, it's typical Missouri roads and representative of many different roads across the state, but nothing spectacular. NOTE: There is a toll bridge on MM across the lake. As of July 2020, the cost was $3 for motorcycles.
