To My Fellow Riders,

Let me welcome you to the finest riding in the State of Arkansas & the Ozarks! Any rider who has expe-rienced Eureka Springs will tell you straight-up that we have the best roads, best food, best accommoda-tions and best people in the area. Motorcyclists visit from all over to experience our laid-back atmosphere and the exhilaration of riding on roads where you can sometimes read your own license plate. Every rider has their own style of riding from easy going to hard and fast, and our hills and turns of-fer variety to each and every one. You can ride the Highway 23 South “Pig Trail” and find yourself turn-ing on curves that bring you close to scraping the bike as you lean. Some test their nerves by riding the mountains edge and being able to look far down into the valley below, many however find themselves not that daring. Treasures and area attractions can be found along your daily rides, you might even find yourself traveling the wooden surface of the Beaver Town swinging bridge as you cross the White River flowing slowly underneath the boards!

Once back from your morning ride you can continue to experience Eureka’s wonders in other ways. Catch a trolley to explore our historic downtown shopping district offering a variety of art galleries, gift shops, spas, stores, historic structures and fantastic dining establishments for lunch and dinner.

So, now that you’re hooked on riding the Ozarks and have had the Eureka Springs experience, we look forward to seeing you and your riding friends on a return trip. Every ride it just gets better!

Ride easy,

Morris R. PateMayor, City of Eureka Springs

Arkansas is one of five states that noted travel writer Gary McKechnie added to his “Great American Mo-torcycle Tours.”

McKechnie’s thoughts on his ride on Highway 7 through the Natural State speak well of what you can expect on your trip. “A ride reaching across mountains and hills from the thermal baths of cen-tral Arkansas north to one of the nation’s most im-pressive resort towns. Nearly 100 percent undiluted natural beauty along a scenic highway reveals a new perspective on a misunderstood state.”

EUREKA SUNSETLODGE & CABINS

“Cabins in the Treetops”

eurekasprings.org

Located in Northwest Arkansas, Eureka Springs has always been a tourist destination. Long before it was a town, the Native Ameri-can’s used the springs and land as a healing and gathering place

for their tribes. Those stories traveled and soon the town was flooded with folks wanting to be healed by the springs!

Today those springs offer a beautiful backdrop to the towns winding lanes. Shopping is fun in this town that hosts independent shops offering wonderful gifts, home items, and art both locally made and internationally known. Dining is world class with something for everyone to delight in. From catfish to filet mignon there is an experience waiting for your next meal. Dancing the night away at a number of venues and take your sweetie for a spin, or stop in and listen to some original folk music being sung on a balcony or in a cafe. Being bored isn’t an option in Eureka Springs!

There is also plenty of time to relax and renew! The town that was built on healing has a lot to offer guests who are looking for rest and relaxation. Treat yourself to a relaxing day at the spa after a long ride through the Ozarks.

Hiking, fishing, canoeing, and mountain biking are available throughout the area. Hosting two lakes, Beaver Lake and Tablerock Lake, the area is ready for you to catch the next big one! Meandering on the river is another way to explore the Ozarks. The White River and the Kings River both offer exciting options for the river rat! Depending on the season you might just spot an eagle or two! If mountain biking is more your speed you can ride right through town to Lake Leatherwood and explore the trails built just for you.

Anyway you look at it, Eureka Springs offers so much to do you’ll be planning your next vaca-tion back before you even leave!
