Arkansas Highway Seven is a designated a scenic highway from Harrison in North Central Arkansas to Arkadelphia in Southwest Arkansas. I had never driven the part from Russellville to Hot Springs so I decided to take that route today. Most of the route goes through the Ouachita National Forest. It is a lovely winding drive. It is a great time of year as the trees are just budding out and the dogwoods are in full bloom. You won’t go very fast but it gives you plenty of time to see the scenery. One thing to watch out for, the bridges were built many years ago and all are very narrow. In an RV only one vehicle could be on a bridge at a time. If you wanted to stop there were several picnic areas and campground along the route. There was also a pull of for Hollis CCC Camp Historic Site. I stopped, walked the guided trail that goes around the site, and took a few photographs. Only foundations are left but there are signs that tell the story of each building. I got to Crystal Spring Campground on Lake Ouachita just before it started to rain. Tomorrow I will drive to Arkadelphia for the Hubbard-Brewer Family Reunion.
