Went back up there this weekend, while it was drizzling. The fog made for some cool shots and sketchy trailing. My phone isn’t letting me pull the photos from the cloud to post them. I’ll see about posting from the laptop.

I 100% agree with you. Also, FYI theres a group called Konza Overland that I just got involved with through a friend and we are doing the Kickapoo Trail March 24th and 25th. Trail is mainly dirt roads but we're going to camp and cruise around. Check them out on FB if you're interested.
I saw this thread before my wife and I went to Hochatown on a trip. We pulled the Jeep up there and made a loop around the lake one day. It rained all day but we still had a good time. We started in Hochatown and took 259 north to the river crossing north of the lake on the map provided here. Followed basically the same route all the way back to hwy 70. I detoured to the right after the 2nd water crossing just looking around and it turned out to be our favorite part of the trip. It led up and across hee mountain. The trail turns out to be a dead end but has a bunch of awesome views and u wind around the top of the mountain for a couple miles. Most of the eastern section of this map is just county roads that go through a lot of timber land that look like deer leases and not much to look at. We never had a problem with going on private land. Everything has gates. We will be going back but I think we will just do more exploring in the national forest vs making the complete loop around. It rained basically our whole trip but it was still beautiful. My phone isn’t letting me post pics on here. They are on my thread in the new members section if u would like to check them out.

we went back 2 weeks ago for a day trip. Referenced between this map for the forest service and the map on my GAIA app on my phone. You can click on a trail on the forest service map and it lets u know the trail number, whether it is closed or not and what vehicles are able to use that trail. I am new to this and learning too. It is a beautiful area with miles and miles of trails. We literally saw 2 vehicles the whole day in the national forest and they were on the main road.
thanks for the thread. been looking for some info on trails in the broken bow area, this has really helped.

Plenty of dispersed sites. Many with plenty of room for a trailer. I suggest just going up and start hitting the dirt roads and you won't be on there long before you start finding sites.

I'll share a few GAIA waypoints for ya here to get you started.
This one is creek side with a pull though that should work for your trailer. Last time I was there the creek was flowing and made for a nice place ot stay as I could cool off in the creek.

Should be enough room at this one to get turned around. It is a dead end road here but plenty of space. Close to a river access. Last time we were here it was pretty well flooded up close to the site.

My family and I are heading up to Broken Bow in a few weeks. I've seen video of a "secret hole" (water fall/swimming hole). Is anyone familiar with this and it's location?
Thanks

Just using the forest service road layers on my Gaia map, it looks like is possibly an endless maze of dirt roads to go discovering and camping on. I think I'll take a couple of buddies up there first of December and maybe to some fishing on the Glover or small creeks and camp for the weekend. Will be coming from Louisiana.

Watch out for Side by sides in that area. It'll probably be too chilly for swimming but there's a nice pull off here that has running water and it's about waist deep so you can float around in it if you want. Nice little site if you like the sound of a creek.
