Welcome to
the Cross Bar Ranch ATV/Motorcycle Off -
Road Area, the newest off-road
riding experience in the West.
The ranch offers recreation for motorcyclists, 4-wheelers, picnickers,
and campers in the Arbuckle Mountains area just off of I-35 midway
between Oklahoma City and the Dallas/Ft. Worth.
The riding area offers
diverse terrain featuring cedar covered hills, hardwood slopes and
valleys and crystal clear creeks and springs. The elevation changes
range for gentle slopes to extreme changes of 500 feet or more.
The Ranch
The area on the ranch designated for
ATV/Motorcycle activities consists of 6,500 acres. The Cross Bar Ranch currently offers
the largest acreage dedicated entirely to ATV/Motorcycle riding in the
state of Oklahoma. Consult the Map Page to view
the existing riding area.
The land currently has an
abundance of ATV trails, feed roads and seismograph easements that
offer several miles of off-road enjoyment. Trail development and
construction is currently in place so additional trail opportunities
are just around the corner. Plans are to have 100-miles of trail in
place by 2007.
The trails are very durable and
not heavily affected by rain. The trail surface consists of clay soils
and rock, providing an all weather surface which is affected little by
erosion.
Only ATVs and motorcycles are allowed in the riding area. No four
wheel drive vehicles are permitted in the riding area.
Camping
Visitors
to the ranch are welcome to camp overnight. There is a $12.50 per
night charge for camping. All camping is primitive
and in a wilderness setting. RV's are welcome and the staff will do
what is needed to accommodate your needs.
Also note that the park currently does have one RV electrical hook up available on a first come/first serve basis. Costs for the hook up is $15 per night.
Don’t worry if you forget anything, the
City of Davis is only 8 miles away and has anything that you might
need to enjoy a night of camping.
Future plans are for
35 RV campsites
and over 70 improved primitive campsites located in the ATV/Motorcycle
riding area.
Special
Events
Future plans are for special events to be
held in conjunction with the Cross Bar Ranch Off-Road Riding Area.
