Located in Greenleaf State Park, Blue blazes mark the trail which heads east into the woods. Though generally well marked, the trails can be lightly tread and hard to find in places. If desired, an advanced northern loop can be accessed by continuing north past Mary’s Cove. In warm weather the lake is heaven for bugs (including chiggers), so bug repellent and powdered sulfur are a must.

Begins as you cross the bridge over the middle of Sunset pool. The trail follows the usually-dry creek bed until turning south up and and out of the creek bed. To complete the loop turn sharp right when the trail converges with the Treasure Lake Trail. This will take you north-west past the boulder field and to the trailhead - the trail is not as well established on this leg of the route.For Post Oak Falls: continue south rather than turning north at the end of the loop. Continue South for approx. .35 miles then turn left into the small canyon. Rattlesnakes and Copperhead Snakes are active during the summer months.

Running along the ridgeline separating the two canyons formed by the Little Red River in the Caprock Canyons State Park, this is a beautiful hike offering stunning views of both canyons. Users recommend taking a camera and binoculars to enrich this adventure, and be on the lookout for the official Texas State Bison Herd.

This leg of the Ouachita trail begins at Talimena State Park and terminates at the Arkansas State Line. Because it is lightly travelled, this trail offers solitude as well as beautiful views. The whole of the trail is marked by blue blazes which are in varying states of repair, so it is important to keep an eye out for them. Water is scarce and poison ivy is common, so prepare accordingly. Be sure to wear orange during hunting season and to leave a note on your vehicle to inform authorities that your vehicle isn't abandoned.

Considered one of the best hikes in OK, this summit is the highest point in Oklahoma at 4,973 feet. The trail is relatively flat up to the base of the mesa. A 600 foot switchback ascent follows, the end of which is marked by a barbed-wire fence and overhead wire. The summit is marked by a granite obelisk, from which New Mexico (to the west) and Colorado (to the north) can be seen. During hot weather prepare for very little shade and the occasional severe afternoon thunderstorm with lightning. Rattlesnakes and Copperhead snakes are active in the area mid-spring through early fall.

Blue blazes mark the trail to the right of the metal roadblock. After a little over a mile a small southward trail bend and a large rock cairn will mark the remains of the old Winding Stair Fire Tower. This also marks the highest point of the entire Ouachita Trail at 2,451 feet. The end of the descent from this point is marked by a scenic and primitive campsite in the saddle. Water and other amenities are available at the Winding Stair Campground.
