Trail Overview

This is a beautiful area of North Western McCurtain County; it is highly isolated, and the terrain for most of the trail is just hilltop roads and small creek valleys. There are some pine farms in the area, but the land near the top, which is over 1400 feet high, is probably a Rating 3 to 5, too much for a smaller, shorter vehicle, but great for a 4x4. It is a very scenic area, and very much worth the time.

Difficulty

This trail requires attention due to significant rutting and some surface mud. It is a one-way access road that ends at the top, where there is adequate space to turn around.

Went out to look for a camp site and found some near the end of the trail. However, when we got to the end there was a gate so we turned back to call it a night. We turned into what looked like some camp grounds and before my girlfriend and I knew, there was a light flashing right above my truck. For a while we didn’t know what it was, I thought maybe it’s camera with a proximity sensor or something so I passed back the opposite way to see if it triggered again. It wasn’t til I about got to the exit of what I believe was the campsite and back onto the trail that it flashed again. After looking at it for a minute we realized it was a drone following us and flashing its light for a little bit back down the trail. We hauled aes out of there not knowing if it was people with bad intentions, security, or a government drone. I can’t say I will come back but it was definitely a cool drive. The trail itself is a bit bumpy but can definitely be accessed by most anything that isn’t a normal car.

The trail is a little rough and deteriorated. It was not a very hard trail. There was a closed gate getting towards the end of the trail as you near the peak and I had to turn around.

Great ride today. Went from the bottom to the top without a problem. There’s a few big washouts but wasn’t a issue going through. The creek crossings were nice. Solid bottoms no issues at all.
