Russelville, AK

Can anyone tell me about State Road 7 from Russeville, AK to Harrison,AK or US Highway 65? Is it ok to travel in 45' A class pulling a car?

Thanks for your help!

    Doesn't OK represent Oklahoma...LOL
  • We sometimes choose that route. Just be prepared for the very winding route and many, many slow curves. If you accept that as a scenic route you can enjoy it. If you are trying to make time, you will be frustrated.
  • Great motorcycle road!

    It is fine for towing. Arkansas does a good job marking curves and declines so you should not have a problem. It is a beautiful area!

  • Thanks all. I did mean Arkansas!!! Mistakes happen when I try to do 3 things at one time!!
  • If I recall from a few years ago, that is a nice and scenic route, road surface not bad. But it is pretty winding along the northern half -- you won't make quick time, but you will be fine. But tired!
    Look at it on Google Earth street view for some impressions.
  • The northern end just south of Jasper AR is very steep & winding. If you go that way stop at the top (you will see a tower that is wood)on your right - look east north east that is the area my wife grew up in. When you leave there go down very carefully - I don't post this to scare you from using it but to make you aware of the road. Yes, there is one run away ramp near the bottom of the mountain just before Jasper, AR.

    That happens alot with Arkansas... The proper two letter ID for Arkansas is AR but everyone thinks that is for ARIZONA which is AZ. AK is for Alaska...
