X2 on Petit-Jean State Park however you have to cross the Arkansas River at Russellville to get to it heading East on I40. Then you can get back on I40 at Morrilton... Only a couple of bridges crossing the Arkansas River in that area...
Believe me when I say Arkansas is not known for good back roads... I ran all of those back roads back in TitanII Missle Silo days in that area North of I40 when I was stationed at Little Rock AFB in the 60s...
We would go work on the Comms at the Mislle silos during the day and then fish our way back to the base. Arkansas is well known for it's fishing holes. The saying back then was you could go 30-minutes in any direction and find a good fishing hole...
Of course Petit-Jean would not be a one night stop-over for me... Nice place...
