Leave from what is now the CMA National / International Support Center and turn left. Go through Mena and stay to the left at the fork to continue north on Highway 71 North. Just past the Elm Park Rest Area, turn right onto Highway 23. Most of the little towns along 23 have jogs as you pass through town, so just follow the signs for AR 23 and you can’ t go wrong. Go about 15 miles until you get to Booneville. Take a left onto E Venable St, then a quick right back onto Hwy 23.

Follow the highway for almost 28 miles, crossing the Arkansas River, and take a left onto W Commercial St in Ozark, then a right back onto Hwy 23 in about half a mile. In ten miles, you will see the famous Pig Trail Scenic Byway sign.

You’ ve reached Arkansas’ famous“ Pig Trail.” Enjoy the twists, curves, and beautiful scenery for the next 42 miles until you reach Huntsville. Take a right onto Lee St, an immediate right onto N Parott Dr, then left at the

“ Y” to remain on Hwy 23. More fun curves await you for the next 28 miles as you make it into Eureka Springs. Take a right onto Hwy 62 E / E Van Buren for two miles, then turn left onto Passion Play Road.

You’ ve made it! This 180-mile route takes almost four hours. If you decide to try it out, let us know by posting pictures on social media with # CMADogwoodRun50. Now, just imagine what they’ ll be saying about you 50 years from now! CMA
