No matter if you’re on two wheels or four, the scenic drive around Push Mountain is simply splendid. This Arkansas route has plenty to see along the way including vistas, rivers, and miles of serene forest. This drive can be a quick 3 hour day trip or a longer weekend filled with exploration. Let’s traverse this curvy swervy road and see where it takes us.
Push Mountain Road is an incredibly gorgeous yet underrated drive in North Central Arkansas.
The drive has three loop options that all guarantee gorgeous views and miles upon miles of curvy roads. Here's the interactive map for one of the possible routes.
The featured winding road of the drive has over 100 swervy curves!
Also known as "The Snake," Push Mountain Road is perfect for motorcyclists. Of course anyone that loves a pretty scenic drive is welcomed as well! The drive begins just north of Mountain View, which has plenty of B&Bs if you'd like to turn your drive into a getaway.

In addition to the stunning vistas along the way, this route also takes you to the beautiful Bull Shoals area.
After heading north and passing Mountain Home (which has plenty of fun stops from trails to wineries), the route turns to Bull Shoals Dam. Be aware that camping and fishing around the lake and the White River is nearly irresistible.
This scenic loop will take you through the lower district of the Buffalo National River, near the Buffalo Point Campground. You could stay a night or two along the river or just stop for dessert with a view at the Buffalo Point Restaurant.
Push Mountain Road is such an inspiring trip regardless of how long you take to complete the loop.
This is one drive that you'll definitely want to take more than once! For more information on this route and other scenic drives in the state we highly recommend following the Arkansas Motorcycling Facebook Page.
