Rich in Native American heritage, Anadarko has been billed as the Indian Capital of the Nation. With seven tribes in a 30-mile radius, dancing, arts and crafts exhibits and pow-wow celebrations are dynamic parts of the area's cultural life.

Located in the old Rock Island Depot, the museum preserves railroad memorabilia and Indian artifacts plus the history of our citizen's lives.

This area has hosted a couple of OCCRA
events and sounds like alot of fun. According to OCCRA "..it is located
on rolling hills with several elevation changes, a couple of creek
crossings, lots of trees, sand, and even a 1.5 mile nationals-type
motocross course. This course has double and triple jumps that are not
for the faint of heart and in full view of the spectators in the parking
area. When you are on the straights (and on the gas) you'll wish you had
at least one more gear. The soil consists of sandy shale and loam. This
course is open to the public for a daily fee and simply cannot get
rained out."
Located about 3 miles south of US-62 between Anadarko and Chickasha. For
more information contact Sean Mills at (405) 830-7007
Located west of Tulsa on Keystone Lake,
this 600 acre area is maintained by the Corps of Engineers. Many of the
locals refer to this area as Motorcycle Island. A few years ago the
Corps built a high roadbed leading to the area so it's really just
Motorcycle Peninsula nowadays. However, if the water level rises above
735 ft. it's an island again.
The terrain is sandy and ranges from open beaches to wooded trails.
Moderate elevation changes keep the wooded areas interesting and a large
circuit of sandy trails meander through briars taller then an elephant's
eye.
White Water Park is another riding area on Keystone, it is located right
next to the dam. It is only about 80 acres, mostly sand and closed while
bald eagles visit the area.
For more information contact the Keystone Project Office at Rt. 1 Box
100, Sand Springs, OK 74063 (918) 865-2621
Donelson's Ascot Park is a
motocross track on the Oklahoma-Arkansas border near I-40. Considered by
many to be an "easy cross" style track they feature races on most
Saturday nights with pro classes, vintage, contingencies and door
prizes. From I-40 take exit no. 330 and turn south, the track is about
three miles down on the east side of the road.
Contact Michael at (501) 474-1561 for more.

Guest Ranch

Located in the beautiful Kiamichi Mountains, the first thing you'll notice about the area is the pace. Life moves a little slower here in these mountains. You can take time to enjoy every minute of every day totally free from the traffic, crowds and commercialism so common with today's lifestyle. Add ATV riding to "great places to ride or hike". We allow ATV riding along with Horse back riding- Fall is a wonderful time to visit Tickled Pink Resort! The trees are starting to changes colors and the weather is wonderful! |

area. The terrain ranges from sandy to good ol' dirt with several rocks
along the way. Enduros and hare scrambles are held at Gruber throughout
the year and the facility is open year round. There is a gate near the
highway but I have never seen it closed.

reasonable accomodations in their lakeside cabins. Greenleaf is just a
short drive further south on OK 10 and is a great place to relax after a

Kaw Lake is a Corps of
Engineers project near Ponca City. The off-road vehicle area is located
just across OK-11 from the Sarge Creek Cove Recreation area. Terrain is
heavily wooded with sandy soil. The riding area is not terribly huge but
offers some great trail riding for motorcycles and ATVs.
Contact the Kaw Lake Project office at Rt. 2 Box 500, Ponca City, OK
74601 (405) 762-5611 The lake
covers 17,000 surface acres and has 168 miles of shoreline. Campers can
select from over 250 RV campsites, many of which are equipped with water
and electric hookups. Recreation facilities include restrooms and
showers, group shelters, picnic areas, boat ramps, playgrounds, drinking
water, swimming beach, and two full service marinas. Kaw Lake and the
Arkansas River have long been known for producing some of Oklahoma's
largest catfish. Kaw Lake also offers anglers excellent opportunities to
catch sand (white) bass, crappie and walleye. Hunters' skills can be
tested with excellent populations of whitetail dear, turkey, quail,
rabbit and squirrel. During the fall waterfowl seasons, Kaw Lake often
attracts large numbers of migrating ducks and geese. One of the lake's
most popular winter attractions is the American Bald Eagle. Numerous
sites around the lake offer visitors excellent opportunities to view
wintering bald eagles. Hikers and horseback riders are attracted to the
beautiful trails along the eastern shore. The Eagle View Hiking Trail is
approximately 12 miles long and runs between Osage Cove and Burbank
Landing. The Five Fingers Equestrian Trail extends from Burbank Landing
to the Sarge Creek Cove Public Use Area. Users should be aware that both
of these trails are closed during Oklahoma's deer rifle and primitive
firearms seasons. There is also an ORV area with heavily wooded and
sandy soil terrain that offers trail riding for motorcycles and ATVs.
Picturesque Lake Murray is
near Ardmore in southern Oklahoma. The Pear Orchard Motorcycle Use Area,
on the northwest side of the lake, was developed by the Oklahoma Tourism
and Recreation Department for motorcycles and ATVs. About ten miles of
marked trails cross grassland, forest and rolling hills. The Tucker
Tower Museum and Nature Center is also worth a visit.

Alvin Kephart, a longtime motorcycle enthusiast, built the track at
Lawton 20 years ago. The track is a one mile Supercross/MX mixture of
intermediate to tacky dirt. Races are held once a month from January to
April and from September to November.
