Trail Overview
This trail is part of the Oklahoma Adventure Trail and follows a straight, well-maintained gravel road that winds through a scenic rural landscape, with a few homesteads located near either end. Along the route, the road intersects with a paved section and continues toward a broad creek, where signs of storm damage are visible. Portions of the trail are paved, and some short sections become narrow and winding. Despite its peaceful setting, the trail does not provide any formal or dispersed campsites and lacks essential services such as trash disposal and a water supply. Cell phone coverage is limited, so travelers should prepare accordingly before heading out.
