Anyone traveled from Little Rock to Branson on highway 65? We are thinking about making a trip that way but haven't been on 65 south of Branson so wandered how hilly and curvy it is. Thanks.

We live in South Ar and go to Branson 3 or 4 times a year. We pull
A 35 foot fiver with no problems at all. A pretty pull over just south of
Marshall for a quick break with a pretty view.

The state of Ark spent more money on curve signs, than it cost to build the highway.

Good Road- nothing to be afraid of- much friendlier than highway 7 🙂
We went that route last Oct and may again end of next week.

We have traveled that highway many times and most of the time pulling a fifth wheel. As mentioned above, it is a good road with a few hills and curves, but nothing bad at all. There are several small towns with reduced speeds and if I recall correctly, most all of the highway is 55 MPH. But over all it is a nice drive and even better when you hit Ferguson's for breakfast. Have a good trip and be safe.

Raods are good, some hills and curves, but not bad. Sometimes you may end up behind a logging truck. They do have some passing lanes.

Great road....mostly 4 lane. Stop at Ferguson's in St. Joseph, AR for a great cup of coffee and pie. Enjoy your trip....

Good road. Some hills as you would expect in NW Ark. but nothing bad. Worst is through the Buffalo River Bridge.

We did that run 2yrs ago in our motor home and toad and I don't recall any problems - just some very nice scenery. Just try to avoid tornado season. 🙂
