This Epic 6-mile Trail In Oklahoma Features A Lake, River And Rocks

Oklahoma has some of the most incredible natural attractions of any nearby state. And, when times are hard, getting outside to enjoy them can be a (literal) breath of fresh air. There are a lot of ways to do this, from simply strolling through our own neighborhoods to visiting the more popular state park, but these days we’ve been trying to find new options. This trail is longer than most that we feature here, but it’s so worth it if you’re looking for a fun way to challenge yourself.

The 6-mile Bison Trail is located within the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge in Indiahoma.

The trail, which is a perfect loop making it simple to follow, is a bit rugged. But, it offers some of the most lovely views in the state.

Get to the start of the trail by taking Highway 49 directly to NW Indiahoma Road. Once here, you'll see signs for the Bison Trail parking lot where you'll find the trailhead.

The landscape is flat, which helps make the route a bit easier despite its longer length.

And there's a ton to see along the way, including wildflowers and even some new animal friends.

But, what we love the most about this route is the water!

Along the trail, you'll pass (and sometimes follow) the Cache Creek which is an offshoot of the Red River.

And the stunning rock formations and cliffs are a unique feature of this trail.

Remember that there's very little shade, so have sun protection and lots of water.

But even if you choose to do this route on a cloudy day, you'll be in for some of the most awe-inspiring views.

The Bison Trail is located within Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge. You can learn more about the refuge here and see more about the trail by visiting alltrails.com. What’s your favorite, more challenging, hike here in Oklahoma? Head over to Facebook to let us know!
