Parker Ridge Road offers an easy and scenic route along one of the Ozark National Forest’s most beautiful ridgelines. This well-maintained gravel forest road features gentle washboarding in sections, wide-open valley views on both sides of the ridge, and multiple side trails to explore. It’s an ideal beginner-friendly route with big-payoff scenery, especially during fall when the foliage turns the hillsides into a stunning blend of orange, red, and gold. There are also several primitive camping options.
