Kiamichi Trail (K-Trail)

Hi I am stationed in Oklahoma and trying to find some trails to go on. I heard about the K trail and wanted to know if anyone has tried it yet? Or if any one will want to try the trail?

 

Never heard of it, what park of OK is it in?

 

I would like to try it at some point. I've seen a couple videos from there on YouTube. I did hear a year or so ago that someone had dumped nails or something similar in some of the mud holes.

I'm thinking about heading out to Keystone and play out there for a bit this evening.

 

@danbow Its in eastern Oklahoma somewhere by clayton. you should look it up on youtube. @Pistol Pete yeah I read about it. but then again I also read that people have competed it with no problems. And thats why I wanted to know if someone has been there recently.

 

Thanks, ended up looking it up today, looks like a fun trail, but it's about a 5hr drive for me. May may it a camping trip someday.

 

@danbow yeah same for me almost 5 hours but I will do it one day hopefully soon. Definitely making it a camping trip.

 

Yes there was a plate with metal spikes welded to it and dumped in a big mud hole. It's gone now. If you have never been to that part of the state, it's an awesome place. I really enjoy the area. May end up buying some land down there.

That said I've been told on several accounts to watch your self down there. There are some.......interesting people when you get off the main roads. I've read of a few issues, but nothing major. I wouldn't suggest going Solo though.

The western half is more technical, but the eastern half has the fire tower most people camp at. It would be a good time of the year to go. Just watch out for big foot........no really he lives there, I've seen the road sign.

There are always trips going out. Check out on-torc on facespace. Also overlandguild.com. they have a hand full of trips to the k trail and Ozark area. Im.out of commission till probably late spring, but may be interested in a trip.

 

@Vandy09 awesome thanks I'll definitely look at those sights. If you are interested just let me know when your ready and we can make it a trip.

 

Wait u said stationed. Where at? Tinker Vance or ft sill

 

Altus AFB

 

Oh man I'm sorry lol
What do you do down there?

 

Lol yeah pretty crappy place too be. Ima 2t2 so basically just push pallets on and off a air craft

 

I'm looking to run that trail. November/December with a group don't have a date yet. You might get some trail pin striping

 

Yeah I hear the eastern half is a little overgrown this year

 

I don't have my Tacoma anymore but I have been looking into this trail, thinking about planning a weekend trip, maybe in February. I know its a long way off, but would anyone be down to go?

 

@flenniken7 I would be down to go @dctamcoa if you need another person Im here. I really don't want to try it alone lol.

 

It's not the k trail, but I'm thinking about hitting sundog this weekend ?

 

Awesome, we will def. have to hit it up. and @Vandy09 I want to try to hit sundog some time too to check it out but am out of town right now. To the beach with no water, but i will be back soon.

 

Beach with no water.....Ive been there a time or 2 got an email a couple weeks ago asking me to go back as a contractor. great money but I'm good. between my kiddo and the current world climate, I'm good with the time I have over there already.


I didn't make it to sundog, had a slight oversight in my life. but we will have to set something up

 

Dan, be careful if you haven't gone yet. Now is the time you would see an issue (if any). The trail separates leased/owned hunting land on either side. They get really defensive about people driving through and messing that up. The east side is fun, but ya, not much going on. Just a cruise through the evergreens. The west side is fun, but nothing truly amazing. Both are worth it to mark it off the list.

Below is from the east side where the pin-striping will be bad. West side has heavier branches, but not quite as constant.
