This run goes east from Eureka to Berryville on US 62 with many stretches through the Ozark National Forest. 

From there, travel south on AR 21 for 25 mi. to Kingston. Expect some chances to get your engine running through here. We'll make a rest stop in Kingston and you'll find a couple of cool country antique stores as well. Then, we’ll make a fun climb up from Kingston.

 We’ll go 10 miles down into the Boxley Valley, headwaters of the Buffalo National River, and home to the AR Elk herd. We will make another rest stop here at the Elk Education Center in Ponca. 

From Boxley it is 11mi. to where we join AR 16 for 9 mi. Then we will turn south on AR21 at Fallsville. Lots of curves through here. 

Travel 20 mi. to where we turn right (west) on county rd 4400 (E Mt. Zion Road). 

About 4 mi on 4400 and then right on 3390 (Lone Pine Road).

3.2 more miles on 3390…At this point, veer right onto AR 103. (This is marked “Harmony” on the map, but there is no longer a town). This is a great 13 mi run to OARK. Up, over & down a nice ridge. 

Lunch stop around 11:00am at the Oark General Store & Cafe (see menu), which is touted as the oldest country store/restaurant in Arkansas. (10360 County road 5440, Oark, AR). In addition to the gas and groceries available at the General Store, the Oark Cafe offers burgers, sandwiches, salads, pie, and ice cream. 

After lunch, travel 12 mi west on AR 215. This is a beautiful drive along the Mulberry River. 

At the intersection in Cass, turn right onto AR 23 North (The Pig Trail), and take it north, through St. Paul and Huntsville. The Pig Trail features the beautiful Ozark Mountains and a number of steep, curvy roads for a fun, captivating driving experience. 

As we continue on hwy 23 to Eureka Springs, we will make a brief stop at Withrow Springs State Park to stretch legs (restrooms available).
