Trail Overview
This trail is part of the Oklahoma Adventure Trail and offers a more engaging drive than many others in the area, thanks to its elevated terrain, which introduces a mix of winding sections, gentle climbs, and occasional descents. It is narrower and more densely wooded than nearby routes, creating a shaded canopy in places that contributes to frequent potholes, particularly where rain collects. The landscape opens intermittently to reveal wide, beautiful fields often dotted with grazing cattle, adding to the rural charm of the route. There are no formal or dispersed campsites along the way, and amenities such as trash disposal and potable water are not available. Cell service is limited, so travelers should check coverage using the OnX app before heading out.
