Highly traveled route for gravel riders. Can get a bit rough in spots with pot holes and a few wet spots. In the wet months there are a couple of water crossings further out.

One-room schoolhouse built in 1916 that fell into disrepair over the years. It's currently being restored as an amenity and historical site on the Handcut Hollow Trail system.

A great option to avoid the Highway!

This sidepath between a horse barn and Highway 72 safely allows you to avoid riding along a narrow section of the busy highway before it provides a safe shoulder where it connects to the highway. You can use it in both directions. Be carefull crossing the highway!

Dust off your gravel bike and get ready for an adventurous gravel ride on Sugar Creek Road. You will not meet a lot of other people here. So don't forget to bring a pump, a spare tube and a mini tool.

What a great gravel road north of Pea Ridge National Military Park. This is a good example what gravel biking means in the Ozark Mountains in Northern Arkansas. It doesn't get any better than this.
