This was my first time there and it was a blast. I checked in with a very nice young man who told me more about the park and some of the better trails for my full sized rig, which is a RAM TRX on 37s and a lift. The TRX has been offroad a bunch but mainly in the Ouachitas which are beautiful and we love going there. Davis Oklahoma and the Arbuckle Mountains are not nearly as scenic as the Ouachitas but this was a day trip and only 2 hours from Fort Worth. It was a Wednesday when I went and I only saw one other vehicle the entire day. My goal was to stay on the Prarie but of course, once I saw the Roller Coaster, all bets were off and I tried about everything I could find. Somewhere around the Lookout and Deadmans Slide, I got into the real stuff. I had never had the truck on rock gardens like I was doing on this section. All in all the truck impressed me, if I could find the line, it could crawl it. By the end of the day, I was getting tired and inadvertently got on some very narrow trails, mind you, the TRX is 14" wider than a Wrangler, and I got really scratched up and was having a little trouble getting back out. I had read about poor signage but that wasn't the case. The trails are marked better than I am used to but the issue is that the trail names are not really on the GPS maps. I tried using the Polaris map but I am really used to ONX offroad and it was only partially marked. If someone would load the Polaris raw file into ONX , it would be a game changer since users would have the ability to update and define the trails. All in all, this was a fun trail that seems to be ran very well. As for me, some of the scratches came out of my truck and a couple of weeks later, we purchased a Wrangler. This country boy knows how to learn a lesson.

Visited the Cross Bar for the first time today 7/23/20. It’s an easy drive from OKC and in a beautiful part of the state. I’ve seen some negative reviews of the place but we had a good time. I am a novice off roader with a daily driver Jeep Wrangler so I approached with caution but came out unscathed. We arrived just after 9am, front office was closed but left the park fee with forms in the drop box, grabbed a map (which needs some work) and off we went. We choose the easy (green) south route for a first time trial run. Started off basically on a rough dirt road then changed into a moderate off road trail. Lots of small to medium sized “boulders” to traverse over or around, some mud and low spots to plow through. My Jeep is lifted with 33s so getting through was fairly easy. There are some areas you may need to have a passenger get out and guide you over a few spots if it’s your first time off road. Pros: Easy to find, beautiful scenery in and around the park, green course was fairly easy nothing to damage a Jeep. The few employees we ran across were extremely friendly and helpful. The park was neatly maintained, we saw no trash anywhere. Cons: map was somewhat confusing, seems to either be a bit out of date or incomplete. A little better signage for 1st timers would be helpful. Overall we had a great time and will definitely be back. My friend and I even constructed a small rock totem from the loose granite lying around. (Pics below)

We have mixed feelings writing this review. On one side we need to visit the park again in warmer weather and try to see all areas of it. The parts we did see during our weekend was near 100% rock, we spent literally hours driving around and put on lots of miles. I understand the park is massive and there might be sections that aren’t pure jagged rocks but we didn’t find them. Second part is Maprika digital off road maps that works everywhere was insanely off base and didn’t help tell us where to go. Third side note is the trails that are marked “green” are absolutely NOT green rated trails. I’ve been off roading for 20 years and some of those were down the side of a mountain off camber with large drops offs.. You could get the average rider hurt like that.. they need to remark there trails not only much better but more transparent about how dangerous/difficult they are. At one point we were halfway down a “green” trail- fully committed only to realize it was to dangerous and had to reverse out backwards up a mountain…. Not safe or fun at all. I was like are you guys for real ? With that being said- the owners and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. All together it was a fun experience but the reviews about the extreme rocks were true for the parts we saw. They also need to install showers and more cabins like other off road parks. We will go back in summer and review the park again.

First time here. Attendant was very friendly, and so were his sidekicks (dogs). Some of the blues are pretty knarly. If you turn right, right after the entrance, that are not marked on map, those would be blacks if we were snow skiing. We used their map and our gps and you still didn't always know where you were. Maps and marking of trails could be better. You just have to wonder and don't hesitate to turn around. Some water crossing, some hill climbs, mostly rocky. The young adult that was riding the actual 4 wheeler, would not recommend doing so. I was impressed by how little trash there was. We road over to Turner falls, that was pretty cool to hike along honey creek down to the falls. It was pretty busy, lots of litter here!! We parked at bottom of Wagon road, as we did not see any signage. On the way back out they said we weren't suppose to. Sounds like they want atvs to park at top of wagon road and butterly road. We stayed at gaby Hill and road utvs and atvs over from the vacation house. Owners had told us we could ride from house and we had no issues doing so. Not like some other places in Oklahoma, where they harass everybody nonstop. I'm sure we'll be back Sunday!

The best place to go off-roading! Great people, great events, can camp with power or primitive. Easy to get in and out. They are constantly adding new trails and upgrades. Come often enough, they will know you by name. They've got trails for everyone from easy to hard. I've camped in a 5th wheel and motorcoach with zero issues getting into the park and finding a spot. You can ride all night if you want. This is one of the best parts about this park. Complete freedom with enjoying a good time with your friends and family. All rigs are good here. We've driven Mules, Commander's and X'3 here. Just know your limits on each machine as to what trails you go down/up. There is almost always a bypass as well. Shout out to Josh for always taking good care of Alyssa and I! - Jeremy E.

If you want to go Jeeping- this is NOT the place. This is designed more towards side by sides, ATVs & dirt bikes. The fact that there are no badges should have been a dead giveaway. Entry price is $20 per rider- not per car. Trails are poorly marked IF marked at all. Got caught up in side by side narrow trenches, paint all scratched up and a tree nearly took out our fender. If I could give it zero stars, I would. Great for small vehicles but terrible for Jeeps. There are 2 separate apps to use for finding trails but reception is spotty. You’ve been warned. Additionally, we were told there would be multiple porta potties around the park and we only saw the one by the main entrance and an outhouse that was poorly maintained- if maintained at all.
