We have been working so hard this week moving & more moving so... we decided to treat ourselves to a Romantic Couple's Day with one of my favorite ride down part of Arkansas 23... "Pig Trail" to The Oark Cafe.
One of the most scenic spots in the state, the Pig Trail was named the top motorcycle ride in the United States by USA Today Readers’ Choice poll. The top riding destinations in America, AR 23 runs from the Arkansas-Missouri border to US 71, south of Booneville. While the southern portion is a very nice ride, it’s the highway north of I-40 that is simply exhilarating. While the entire length of AR 23 is often referred to as the Pig Trail, it’s actually the 24-mile stretch from I-40 to Brashears – at the junction of AR 16 – that comprises the famous ride. There are two competing explanations for how the Pig Trail got its name. The first is that since this portion of AR 23 was part of a popular back-road route into Fayetteville for University of Arkansas Razorback football games, it was therefore dubbed the Pig Trail. The other explanation is simply that the road is as twisty as the tail of a wild hog. Regardless, the Pig Trail has become synonymous with coiling pavement and breathtaking scenery, often running through deep tunnels of overhanging trees. This ride proves to be the excitement most crave as they dream of the best burger and pie in the state of AR at The Oark General Store & Cafe.
He is serious when it comes to his yummy burger he had waited a year to get to eat again! Oh yea the coconut pie was so good I couldn't put my fork down to take a photo.😄
If you are lucky you might even catch some picking & grinning!
This ride is definitely a beautiful route including hwy 7 and the magnificent vista views.
If you have not done this trip, you had better put it on your bucket list!
