This route gives two options to/from Fayetteville to Shores Lake. It has pavement at the beginning out of Elkins. At the time I did this, the only goals I had for the ride was to take our Lubbock-bound friend to the cabins at White Rock, down WarLoop, and then on any other good roads in that region.

Note the green "Firebreak Bypass" route. Firebrake Rd is not big-bike friendly and is a gummy-mess if wet. I suggest taking the green bypass for the more timid (aka, me).

As Doc noted, the route called "april_2012_long_route.gpx goes over a closed road, which has no opening date planned.
So, DON'T download the "Attached File" below.
For an updated route: Right-click HERE, and "Save Link As", and save the file to your computer (otherwise it just launches to the code in your browser). The file is called "143FayShoresLake.gpx".


DON'T USE THE BELOW FILE!

Tim..I see a flaw in your route there..you have it going thru a closed section of White Rock Mtn Road..no biggie tho, we can go around it pretty easy...just wanted to rag ya on it some!

This is a ATV trail over some rough terrain..you need to have near expert skills here...steep in spots and rocky..two washouts that I know of that can be navigated, WITH SKILL! Note the waypoint..this is "about" where the trail exits out onto Bidville Rd, contiune east on bidville back to White Rock turn off

This is both ROUTE and TRAX

15 miles of dirt rd to WR


Out of Fayetteville, hwy 16 east (south) thru Elkins to the little community of Combs. On the right will be the Mill Creek turn off, MADISON 4360. Follow 4360 abt 4.2 miles to Mountain Crest Rd or NF 1067 (one and the same) stay right. Go 2.5 miles to Bidville or NF 1506, turn left. Go 4 miles to Bear Valley rd or NF 1505, turn left.

This is both a ROUTE and a TRACK

[DrLewall]

From either direction, Fort Smith or Little Rock on I-40

Roughly 21.5 miles to WR..9.5 of it is paved

I-40 to exit 13 or hwy 71 north towards Fayetteville. Go abt 8.3 miles to hwy 348. Turn right and drive 8.5 miles. Hwy 348 will tunr into Old Lock road and they are basically, one and the same. At the 8.5 miles, you are at the cross roads of Warloop Rd and Fern Rd..continue straight ahead for another 5.3 miles to Hurricane Creek Rd, turn right. Follow Hurricane another 7 miles to the White Rock entrance.

Hey Doc, could you post a file that shows a waypoint where the road is closed? Lookin to camp at Shores Lake for SLAP but someone told me that you couldn't get to WR Lodge going up Cr-75 and Cr-76. Never mind, I just saw your post on the SLAP thread.

[DrLewall]

This is a 19.6 mile detour from Shores Lake, all dirt!

If you are camping at Shores Lake, this is probably the better way to go to WR without having to ride on Hurricane Creek road.

Come out of the campground make a right go up the hill, county road 75, go 4.2 miles to the T intersection, CoRD 76..turn right and go 3.8 miles to Mineral Hills RD..turn left (North) and go 5 miles to Bidville Rd or NF 1506. Turn left and go 2.5 miles to Bear Hollow Rd or NF 1505..follow that 4 miles to White Rock

Mapsource 2010.1
