I am thinking about organizing a fall foliage run via the Great River Road/Crowley's Ridge Parkway. Anyone ever been down one of these routes and have some tips? I am looking at the section between Forest City, AR and Helena, AR.

I read that the section that passes through the St. Francis National Park is a well maintained gravel road. Anyone know how well maintained it acually is?

 

Need to visit Helena for a great time on Oct. 9th, 10th, and 11th. Free Blues Festival, great music and food, a least 3 stages and street muscians, and again, IT'S FREE.

go here for more info and the lineup for each day:

Don't know about the road you mentioned but I try not to do gravel in my MINI.
