This 26‑mile Eureka Springs Loop ride begins and ends in Eureka Springs, forming a compact loop that packs in a surprising amount of scenery. It runs north along AR 23 and AR 187, where the pavement winds through wooded hills and over gentle ridgelines before dropping you toward the water. The southern leg traces the edge of Beaver Dam Site State Park, offering glimpses of the lake, cool shaded stretches, and that peaceful, tucked‑away Ozarks atmosphere. It’s a short ride with a smooth flow and plenty to look at, perfect for an easy run out of Eureka Springs.
