Arkansas Highway 23 (AR 23) is a north–south state highway in north Arkansas. The route runs 133.9 miles (215.5 km) from U.S. Route 71 (US 71) north of Elm Park north to the Missouri state line through Ozark and Eureka Springs.[2] Between Highway 16 at Brashears and Interstate 40 (I-40) north of Ozark, Highway 23 winds through the Ozark National Forest and is designated as the Pig Trail Scenic Byway due to its steep hills and hairpin turns. The route has a strong connection with the University of Arkansas Razorbacks, connecting fans in Central Arkansas with the Northwest Arkansas area.[3]
