Fantastic ride. Brand new black top for about 30 miles of this trip. The rest of the roads are in great shape. I had very little traffic wrecking it for me. Everything you want from a ride. Great scenery, nice snaky roads, hills, vistas. When you thought about buying a bike and just tooling through the country, this is what you were imagining.

Top 10 road I've been on. I love me some twisties and this road had them for sure. Not as sharp of curves as Deal's Gap (Tail of the Dragon) in Tennessee/S. Carolina, but at the very least comparable. And a free ferry ride!? Nothing much better. If you are in the Arkansas/ Missouri area, take detour to 125.

get your gas, drinks and potty breaks before leaving Sparta. There are no towns in between Sparta and Yellville that have gas stations

My daughter and I rode Hwy 125 from the Peel Ferry to Bradleyville. What a blast!!! Loved it so much we turned around at Hwy 76 and rode back South about 20 minutes, turned around and headed North again. Excellent road conditions, little to zero traffic (it was mid-day on a Saturday). Next time we'll ride the entire route.

This is a very fun ride, especially if you like hills and curves. The closer you get to Bull Shoals Lake, the twistier the road gets. One of the coolest parts is riding the ferry across the lake into Arkansas. The ferry ride is free, and is operated by the Arkansas Highway department. Instead of riding on South to Yellville, we turned West to Lead Hill and kept riding West to 65 Hwy. Then back North to Branson, Mo.

This is a must ride road for the rider who likes em tight. One of the best roads in southern Mo. Take 125 across the ferry into AR. Great riding.

I've ridden all over the Ozarks but never thought of this road until I saw a review on this website. A beautiful ride from Yellville, AR up to Sparta, MO. Just before the Missouri border you'll cross Peel Ferry on Bull Shoals Lake. Don't worry, it's free and runs every day. Plus they tend to put the bikes on the front of the ferry to unload first (so you don't get stuck behind grandma). I'm from Arkansas and hate to say it, but the Missouri section is really the nicest part of the ride, for both scenery and curves. Anytime I ride to Missouri, I always do this route if possible.

The pavement is great, the ferry ride is unique, and the MO side is a roller coaster. Even in the rain, this ride was pure fun. Dry would make this ride adrenaline bliss.

I rode this in early May 2021, in the rain and upper 40s temperatures. Even with that, it's a fun ride. Lots of good curves and hills, and the part between Reuter and Chadwick through the Mark Twain National Forest is especially scenic.

Good ride. Good Scenery. Watch out for gravel from driveways and area folks not accustomed to sharing the whole road. In the fall watch out for Bambi.

Best road in the Ozarkas. Relax while crossing beautiful Bull Shoals Lake via ferry. Make sure to tale MO-125 north of US-160 at Rueter,MO. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY!!
