N4770

Trail Overview

The route starts as a tidy ribbon of gravel that climbs and dips through thick timber, and it is common to spot deer slipping across the track. There is a large, well-fenced ranch called Lee Creek Ranch, which is for sale for just over 8 million dollars if you have a few spare coins. The property beside the Lee Creek Ranch is much more interesting. As we drove towards and into the property known as Elohim City, we came across a few girls, driving cars and quad bikes and walking between the houses. This was strange as we hardly ever see anyone moving about as we explored rural Oklahoma. We past a building that resembled a temple and, after some research, discovered that the community living in Elohim City has a connection to the Oklahoma City bomber, Timothy McVeigh. Lingering too long on this property may be a bad idea. There are no campsites, bins, or water taps, and cell reception flickers, so check your onX map before you roll.

History

The Oklahoma Adventure Trail unfolds as a patchwork of county lanes, forest roads, and forgotten byways that knit together the state's eastern hills and river bottoms into a single, meandering drive. Much of the route drifts across loose-gravel farm tracks where washboard sections, shallow potholes, and the odd stretch of corrugations keep the steering wheel busy. In pasture country, the trail often threads between tidy homesteads and hayfields, so pickups, tractors, wandering livestock, and even the occasional basketball game at a roadside hoop are part of the scenery. Water is a recurring companion, whether a broad, submerged bridge that leads into a rough ascent, or the shaded creek crossings where turtles and snakes warm themselves on the verge, and spring storms can turn those crossings into obstacles in a matter of hours.
