Sugar Creek Loop

Trail Overview

Sugar Creek Loop is a great scenic drive with a handful of technical obstacles. It is short enough to be a day trip escape from the city, but still gives the sense that you are out exploring. Most of the loop is made up of dirt and gravel roads, with some portions of pavement and sand to help link the loop together. With hill climbs, water crossings and sandy sections, this route contains a little bit of everything. This is a great route for new overlanders or offroaders looking to try out their vehicles and gain confidence in their driving abilities. It also has enough elevation change, beautiful scenery, and fun to keep even experienced drivers engaged.

Difficulty

Most of the route could be done by almost any stock SUV or Truck. There are two exceptions that might require four wheel drive and additional clearance. One is Purgatory Road which has a fairly steep climb with a small ledge in the middle of it, and then there is a somewhat sandy steep drop off after that. Note: The difficulty of this route is dependent on the amount of recent rain. The roads are mainly Oklahoma red clay that get extremely slick when wet.

History

This route was originally mapped out by Gared Findley as part of the Oklahoma Backroad Discovery Route.
