You will want to hit Missouri 125 and cross the lake on peel ferry, don't miss out on sand gap rd at ozone on highway 21 sand gap is a narrow 2 lane that runs over toward the Oark General Store. Loos like you have highway 23 the pig trail, anywhere on ar 16 is fun. And you already have 123. There is a fun loup out of Jasper Ar 74 to 123 to 374 to 7 south to 16 toward deer then 327 back to Jasper.
 
If your up by Russellville and need to cool off long pool recreation area is a great stop. After riding all day and on our way back to russellville me and my dad stopped and took a Dip and had a few beers. If ya do stop bring water shoes of some type the stones are a bit pointy and some are slick.
 
Eureka Springs Loop 1: at Washburn on the West side of the loop, I like to run MO 90 over to Noel and back. It is super twisty and fun.

Also, the stretch of Mo 86 between Cassville and Eagle Rock and Hwy 112 between Seligman and Mo 86 is fun.

Forgot to mention, the stuff on that route East of Seligman is not paved and I can't recall if all of the stuff on the North part of that route is paved... I am pretty sure all of Mo K is paved back to where it hits 90.The run on 90 is all paved.

There is a great cafe just on the East side of Exeter on Mo 76. It is on the right. Good food and not expensive. Cr-ose Cafe Country Cookin (the "Cr-" is not a typo). It is on the right if you are heading East out of town.

Had a buddy tell me he thought 21 was a better run than the pig trail. Looking forward to hitting both! I could probably spend a month up there...
 
My problem when I go up there is not what roads are good to ride, but which ones can I cram in to the time I have to ride them and which ones to leave out!

If you ride Push Mountain on a weekend, expect to see LEO presence.

The problem with 21 is it can have a bunch of truck traffic which is easy on a bike unless you have 10 cars bunched up behind it. Most of the time you are fine.

I usually stay in Jasper. It is centrally located to most of the good roads. Ozark Cafe in Jasper has decent food and Arkansas House decent accommodations with river access if you want to take a swim after a hot ride.
