K-Trail

Trail Overview

This is the current legal version of the well known K-Trail. This short stretch along the Kiamichi Mountain ridgeline is an enjoyable 5 hour drive. There are small rock gardens and plenty of red dirt that make up this mildly bumpy run. There are some small plots of private property mixed in, in this part of the Ouachita National Forest. This route can be run in either direction and has room for 2 vehicles passing with care. Dispersed camping is allowed in established areas. Three Sticks monument is at the intersect of the highway. It is a quirky little stop.

Difficulty

This is a well-traveled road that gets maintained every few years. During very heavy rains, parts of the road may be washed away and rock stacking may be necessary to pass.
