It's worth it to venture off the worn path when you're down there. Pig Trail is awesome, so is Magazine Mt. even though it's out of the way for a fairly short ride. Best riding I've found down there though, is following Rt. 74/123/7 south out of Jasper, towards Russellville.
The whole road was repaved last year, and it's far more technical than the Pig Trail. Best part though? I saw one car the entire 70+ mile run, and that was in June on a weekend.
It's in the hinterlands though, you don't want to break down or run out of gas.
