We will be going from Houston to Natchez Miss. then Natchez to Memphis then Memphis to Branson, then Branson south, 2 days riding in Ark. I have ridden 7 but nothing else. What are some great roads I missed in Arkansas? I love riding Arkansas. It is only a few more hours than the Texas hill country and is much better in my opinion. Thanks, T.

When I stopped at the Visitor Welcome Center just west of West Memphis AR on I-40 they had maps of Arkansas and also biker road maps showing several roads for motorcyclists to ride. I road 154, 7 and 9. Where ever you enter Arkansas, stop by a Welcome Center and ask for the biker road maps. It is worth the hassle to enter through an Interstate highway so you can get stop at a Welcome Center.

Arkansas 154 was really nice.

Appreciate it but Ark is a big state with a lot of highways. I can't find 154. Where did you pick it up? and where is 9? Thanks, T.

This lists them all and has been very good.

Google Petit Jean State Park, Ark 154 goes through it. Ark 154 is a very small road so you need a good map of Arkansas.

You cannot go wrong anywhere in the northeast corner. Lots of great two-lane everywhere. Try 23 north of I40. I try every weekend to ride a new road in that quadrant and am never disappointed. I feel fortunate to live here.

Did you mean northwest? I think the northeast is rather flat if I am not mistaken. I see you are from around Ft. Smith. I have ridden around there and it is nice. T.

Yup, meant Northwest. Must be oldtimers kickin' in. NE looks like the moon, only green.

I thought it was Anheuser's?

Big T, if you can get to the Harley shop in Hot Springs, they have a GREAT biker map to share and their motor clothes ladies are nice enough to share their opinions on the best roads on that map.  Check out Mt. Magazine if you can - haven't gotten there yet but have heard it's great.  Did you ride the Talamena Parkway, between Talihina OK and Mena AR yet?

Yeah I think so. I was with a guy that grew up in Poteau Ok. We stopped at his mom's house and rode around there. I get the names of all those roads mixed up but it was some federal scenic highway that went along the top of some mountain range in that area. All I know is that Arkansas is the closest place to Texas that has so many great roads. I can't wait. They are forecasting temps near 100 all next week here. Hopefully it won't be so hot out that direction. T.
