This 71‑mile Arkansas River Run covers some of the prettiest and most varied scenery in the state, shifting from the hilly, curving climb out of the Arkansas River Valley to the flat, lush stretches that define the valley floor. The route passes several waterways, including the backside of Lake Conway, with occasional glimpses of the river itself before crossing over and heading back toward the hills. The final miles rise gently beside Pinnacle Mountain, offering wide views and a classic Ozarks feel as you roll past the tree farm near Roland and alongside the Ouachita Hiking Trail. It’s a scenic, ever‑changing ride that blends river country, rolling hills, and open landscapes into a smooth, memorable run.
