Imagine the open road before you, bright, colorful fall foliage on both sides of your car or motorcycle, and stunning scenic outlooks of rolling forested hills awash in golden and fiery hues. On TripAdvisor, a ride along the Pig Trail Scenic Byway is ranked as the number one thing to do in the Ozarks—which is no surprise, as this is one of the most beautiful places in Arkansas.

Many of our guests coming by car or motorcycle to Eureka Springs will enjoy the beauty of this area on their way—including a section of the Pig Trail Scenic Byway, which is a great addition to when you’re coming or going, depending on your direction. This scenic byway, located along Arkansas Highway 23, officially starts in Brashears, about 50 miles south of Eureka Springs. However, the drive to Brashears is just as thrilling, with its winding roads, rolling hills, and steep inclines. Lush forests line the route, occasionally giving way to stunning mountain vistas.

Along the way, consider stopping at notable attractions like the Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge, a sanctuary for big cats, the McIlroy State Game Management Area, and Withrow Springs State Park. The charming small towns along the route are worth exploring, too. However, Eureka Springs should be your final destination in the Ozarks! Just put the address to our romantic bed and breakfast in your GPS, and we’ll await your arrival. Book your lodging today!
