4. Oark to Jasper

OARK TO JASPER – 157 MILES

The fun continues through a highlight section of the route featuring a series of primitive, rocky, and rustic forest roads with numerous creek crossings as you make your way toward Ozone. Riders can stop at Red Lick for fuel and supplies, while an ALT Harder section awaits, rejoining the main route near the impressive Strawberry Bluffs viewpoint. Enjoy a short stretch on Hwy 123 and another optional challenge section as the main route follows twisty gravel roads to Pilot Knob, the final ALT Harder on this route.

Through a continuous stretch of flowy paved and gravel roads, join North Fork Road as you make your way through the Richland Creek Wilderness, a beautiful stretch of pristine forest with multiple waterfalls.

After a short run on tight two-track, the route tops out again on Hwy 123 as you descend the incredible Arkansas Dragon Switchbacks into Mt. Judea where food and fuel are available.

Interspersed pavement and dirt bring the final miles to a close as you descend into Jasper for the completion of an epic adventure.
