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.

Definitely not a 2 out of 10 this trail was extremely over grown and unmaintained lots of stray branches scraping against the outside of my vehicle, I would not recommend to anyone who is protective over their 4x4 I didn’t notice and scratches to the paint however the one other person I did see on the trail was driving a brand new stock wrangler and turned around due to fear of scratches. I went shortly after a long rain period and the trail was muddy and heavily eroded making the obstacles steep and uneven which resulted in many off camber situations. If you are looking for an easy dirt road drive this I do not recommend. I wouldn’t quite call it rock crawling but definitely a good learning trail for anyone who wants to do some heavy rock crawling in the future.

Started trail at south end. Tail is overgrown now and very narrow with a lot of side and top rubbings on my wider width Raptor especially at the first 7 miles in. Lots of water pools but not deep. I don’t think the trail was rated a 2 as indicated at the start but changed after the 7 mile mark to a 2. Probably more like a 3-4.
