Pig Trail motorcycle ride
The Pig Trail is Arkansas Highway 23 through the Ozark National Forest, named for the Razorback fans who drove it to games in Fayetteville. This ride follows AR 23 from Ozark north across the Arkansas River valley and through the forest on the Pig Trail Scenic Byway to AR 16 at Brashears, with tight curves under a canopy of trees.
