Greenleaf Nature Trail:
An 18 mile primitive trail on the
banks of Greenleaf Lake, passes over a swinging bridge,
and makes a return loop through the wildlife-rich
Cherokee Game Management Area, beginning and ending in
the park. The trail is designed for overnight
backpacking and is also enjoyed by day hikers. It does
cross military land so hikers should call the park in
advance to ensure the trail is open for hiking.

RV Camping Area |
Camp Gruber
Located between Muskogee and Braggs on OK Highway
10, a 400 acre sliver of this army base is operated by the Camp
Gruber Recreation Trust Authority as an off-road vehicle 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. If you're making a weekend of it the nearby Greenleaf
State Park offers 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 ride. And if you're lucky
you can hear the artillery practice at the army base across the
highway! Call the Muskogee County Commissioner's Office for more
information (918) 682-9601
All pets must be caged or
on a leash not to exceed 10 feet.
We found this park ideal for
families with children 12 and under. No noisy watercraft and no
skiing. There is a lot for children to do and perfect for
camping, hiking, walking, fishing for the retired set. Beautiful
setting, with a lot of quiet space.
