Peel Ferry Ride Across Bull Shoals Lake
We had another great day of riding today. We rode the Peel Ferry Route. This loop extends from Harrison, Arkansas to Branson, Missouri . It is 110 miles with 378 curves plus a few more miles and curves we added to the loop.
We left around 9:30 and got back around 3. It was a cloudy day. We packed our rain gear and helmets. We didn't need the rain gear, but needed the helmets in Missouri, state law.
We saw a buck with really big horns close to the Arkansas/Missouri state line. Luckily, he saw us coming and decided not to cross the road in front of us.
The ferry ride across Bull Shoals Lake on the Peel Ferry was fantastic. The guys running the ferry were really nice. The ferry started after part of Arkansas Highway 125 was covered with water when the White River was dammed up to make Bull Shoals Lake.
Our timing of the ferry was perfect. We arrived, was the first to load, waited about 10 minutes, then departed across. There was only one pickup truck on the ferry with us.
We rode around Branson and Table Rock Lake. We stopped to eat at The Great American Steak and Chicken House, home of the tallest chicken.
We had a lot more traffic to deal with today in Branson and Harrison than we usually have. This loop was well worth dealing with the traffic. We enjoyed the ride today, but prefer the winding country roads over the congested roads in the towns.
