Pig Trail Scenic Byway
Boston Mountains, Ozark Mountains
The rugged and forested Boston Mountains region of the Ozark Mountains
provides the setting for this route, which often runs through a
tunnel of foliage during spring, summer and fall. Spring wildflowers and
brilliant autumn foliage make the route especially popular
during those seasons. The route crosses the Mulberry River and the 165-mile
Ozark Highlands Trail.
ROUTE: Ark. 23 from the south boundary of the Ozark National Forest
to its intersection with Ark. 16 at Brashears.
LENGTH: 19 miles.
