Default Roads with lots of tight switchbacks in Northern Arkansas?

I drove Tail of the Dragon this summer, which has a 35mph speed limit, and lots of very tight turns with 15mph advisories. I thought it was going to be a waste of time, but it turned out I loved it.

In fact, I loved it a little too much. It decreased my satisfaction with the roads I usually drive in mid-southern Missouri, which are more 55-60mph sweepers. Still fun, but not as fun as the constant tight turns for me.

Anyway, does anyone know of roads in Northern Arkansas that are similar to ToTD, with lots of super tight switchback turns? Northern Arkansas is much closer to me than ToTD.

Thanks!

I just got back from Porsche Palooza in Eureka Springs. I'm used to canyon roads in SoCal and I was pleasantly surprised how fun the roads are near Eureka. We stopped by Rogers on the way out and that was maybe 45 minutes from Eureka... You'll enjoy plenty of twisty roads there. I hear the pig trail is also great.

We were at Palooza all week as vendors so didn't get to do much driving but in the past years we did a lot.
Hwy 21 and 23 near Eureka Springs are roller coasters.
Lay of the land twisties and very little traffic.
