I would like to know more about the trail. I used to hunt all over that area.

I've ran it once. When I ran it 3 years ago, the first leg of the trail was nice. It's a very mild trail. Stock Jeeps would do fine on it. Great views at 12k feet.

The second leg of the trail was extremely overgrown and very narrow. It was pinstrip city. I probably wouldn't run this leg of it again because it was literally like driving straight through a forest of pine trees.

I ran it in April 2015 and at that time the locals put spikes on the water crossing. I ripped one tire and punctured 3 tires. The only tire that was spared was the front driver side. The 1st part of the trail is easy, the 2nd to the watch tower is pin stripe city, the 3rd part to Mena AR is just a gravel road.
 
well been playing phone tag with the forest service and unable to find out either way on if it indeed has become private land .. sorry but a game warden having jurisdiction over N.F. lands just doesnt seem right to me .... so the new plan is no ktrail run . instead going to head up to Utah hit Grand Escalante and Capitiol Reef .. may toss Moab into it since i will be in the neighborhood anyways ....

Something doesn't sound right about the game warden part. If isnt NFS land, then jurisdiction would be the county sheriff and they probably have jurisdiction in NFS land as well. The game warden only has jurisdiction with respect to fish and game.

Having said that though, Oklahoma Game Wardens ARE technically state police. And private land is private land.

No matter what, the county sheriff will have jurisdiction in their county minus any federal jurisdiction issues.

They are a little protective down there.
