Pig Trail Scenic Byway
The rugged and forested Boston Mountains region of the Ozark Mountains provides the setting for this route, which often runs through a
tunnel of foliage during spring, summer and fall. Spring wildflowers and brilliant autumn foliage make the route especially popular
during those seasons. The route crosses the Mulberry River and the 165-mile
Ozark Highlands Trail.
