Summary:
The condition of this trail is deteriorating. I rode it last fall and got most of the way around the lake before the trail faded too much to follow. This time I started on the south side of the lake and got only three or four miles before losing the trail. Went back and tried the north side with the same results. Apparently there isn't enough activity to keep it clear enough to see. Needs more riders.

Recommended Route:
Doesn't matter - just start and go as far as you can.

Summary:
I rode this the day before the race just to check it out. (didn't race cuz I'm a puss) You get a little bit of everything. Singletrack through grass, then up and down wash-out areas, then zig-zags through what little trees there were. The trails were pretty well marked. Some of it was on a jeep road also. It was about 13 miles long and my lungs were killing me. Not much shade and bring water. The facilities are nice with bathrooms and warm showers right by the parking area in with the campers. I'm a beginner, really, and I dug it. If you were really technical, you might get bored. Although, there was an expert section that I didn't go on. The endurance workout it great.

Recommended Route:
easy to get to, lots of signs

Summary:
For people living in Southwestern Oklahoma it's one of the closer local trails. It's a good place for a beginer to put up some off road miles and live to tell about it. The trail still needs some work, because it just seems to die out at one point on the far side of the lake.

Recommended Route:
It's another trail around a lake, so you've only got two choices.

Summary:
I thought this was going to be an OK ride, I wasnt looking for big hills or anything. This ride turned out to be a huge dissapointment. It is flat, the trail is LONG, and boring. There is not much excitment in the 16 miles of strait and winding trail. This totally different from any other trails in the area, like the ones in the Wichitah Mountains. I cant even reccomend this trail to a beginner, since it doesnt offer any short technial places to improve and get better on. There is also no shade for 99% of the ride, it is all exposed.

Recommended Route:
Well, since the whole thing stinks pretty evenly, it really doesnt matter. In fact, there are trails going off in different directions in places, and the signs labeled "B" and "E" dont help at all.
