The drive has three loop options that all guarantee gorgeous views and miles upon miles of curvy roads. Here's the interactive map for one of the possible routes.
Also known as "The Snake," Push Mountain Road is perfect for motorcyclists. Of course anyone that loves a pretty scenic drive is welcomed as well! The drive begins just north of Mountain View, which has plenty of B&Bs if you'd like to turn your drive into a getaway.
After Bull Shoals the route turns southward to Yellville. Here you'll find Blacksheep BBQ, which is a pretty darn delicious stop for lunch.
This scenic loop will take you through the lower district of the Buffalo National River, near the Buffalo Point Campground. You could stay a night or two along the river or just stop for dessert with a view at the Buffalo Point Restaurant.
This is one drive that you'll definitely want to take more than once! For more information on this route and other scenic drives in the state we highly recommend following the Arkansas Motorcycling Facebook Page.
