Trail Overview

This 30-mile route follows along the Northside of the Red River. This East to West route is almost completely gravel roads. The roads are maintained but can be nasty after or during rains. Although you may not see a lot of the river, you will see lots of pasture land with livestock, creeks with bridge crossings, and lots of nature if you are looking. This route ends at a boat ramp on the Red River, off HWY 41. Under the bridge to the west is a trail that takes you along the river if you have the right vehicle. Park and walk for a good stretch.

Slow ride through backroad cattle farms. 90% county maintained roads. One and done "trail". Decent views.
