Talimena Scenic Drive - Route 1 - Talihina, Oklahoma

The Talimena Scenic Drive has everything that a motorcyclist could desire in the afterlife. This rugged highway isn't for everyone however. Sharp curves, steep inclines, remote location, and wilderness characteristics should stand as a warning to the less adventurous or experienced riders.

Fifty-four miles of nationally recognized scenic drive is spread out between Mena, Arkansas, and Talihina, Oklahoma. It climbs, curves, and dips across both Rich and Winding Stair Mountains. Bear, deer, and turkey live in the dense forests on either side of the road. Panoramic vistas are spaced strategically along the route which allows the rider to stretch for a few minutes and take in the view.

Bikers are a different breed. Their makeup requires a different habitat from the more settled parts of the human race. They need a road that can match the untamed spirit inside them. They know that it's not the destination, but the journey that matters most.

Talimena State Park

Talimena State Park marks the Oklahoma entrance to the Talimena National Scenic Drive, a winding road through the Winding Stair Mountains that is known for spectacular spring and fall foliage. There are hiking, backpacking, dirt bikes and ATV trails throughout the Ouachita National Forest begin at Talimena State Park and offer a wide range of scenic, wooded terrain. Talimena State Park offers facilities for picnics and camping.
