If you haven’t experienced the Peel’s Ferry Route,
you haven’t experienced the most unique route
in the Ozarks. The Peel’s Ferry was developed
when the White River was dammed to make Bull
Shoals Lake. The lake now covers AR Highway 125
leading into Missouri. To compensate for the road
loss, the Arkansas Highway and Transportation
Department created the ferry to transport
vehicles across the lake into Missouri. There is
no charge for the ferry ride. Just pull up to the
landing, wait for the ferry to arrive (about every
20 minutes) and enjoy a ride across the lake. The
route takes you on a wonderful ride through the
Missouri countryside before arriving in Forsyth,
MO and Branson, MO. Enjoy the great shopping,
dining, and shows in Branson.

Directions: The route will start by departing
Harrison on Scenic Highway 7 North. Follow
Highway 7 to Highway 14 East. Follow Highway 14
for a very short distance to AR Highway 268 North.
Highway 268 North will intersect with AR Highway
125 where it will pass the Corps of Engineers
Park on the right side. Highway 125 dead-ends
at the Peel’s Ferry Crossing. Once you are on
the Missouri side of the lake, continue traveling
on Missouri Highway 125 to Highway 160 West.
Highway 160 will intersect Highway 76 West just
east of Forsyth, Missouri. Take Highway 76 West
through Branson until it intersects with Highway
65 South. Be sure to enjoy Branson before heading
south on U.S. Highway 65 to Harrison.
