I rode this trail for the first time before Thanksgiving. HAD A BLAST. The trail is wonderfully marked with bypasses and mile-markers, along with color-coded arrows. Several miles have been added since the orig map (to the gold loop) and it caught me off guard when it got dark. That's where one of the bypass/bailouts came in handy. Some good technical sections and some nice little kickers for some air time (if you want it). I just moved to OKC and this is the 3rd trail I have ridden, but I would rate this baby the BEST of the three so far. There are a few sandy spots in the beginning that were a little frustrating, but we made it through without issue. A big thanks to anyone that helped with the making of this trail and to the trail steward(s) for the 5 Star maintenance.

The best trail in Oklahoma. I rated it very difficult due to length and technicality. There are some sections that are barely rideable. The reviews of this trail on MTBR are useless. Be sure you plan a several hours if you want to ride it all. You may get lost. The trail maps posted are inaccurate. Over 17 miles long. Look for the expert section of the blue loop. Ride it and love it.

Sandy if it hasn't rained in a while. The teeter totter is fun. Make sure you stall at the top to wait for it to go down. I learned the hard way....A good trail....Great aerobic workout with some fun drops

Sweet mostly wooded singletrack. Heck of a workout if you ride all 17 miles. I skipped the teeter-totter since I was alone (yeah, that's it), and has come cool drop-ins on the Expert loop. Huffy hill made me huff, but the climbs were never that long. Some sandy corners. One made me eat my lunch. A little dropin with sand in the bottom made me eat lunch a 2nd time. There are some technical spots, some small rock gardens, small drops, etc. Access to the lake too. Reminded me of Lk. McMurtry tied together, but more twisty. Will ride again for sure.
