A wonderful 14 mile hike along the scenic shores of Lake Texoma, incuding several loop trails that intersect with the trail and turn this into a 17 mile hike which is perfect for an overnight trip. There is the Lost Loop trail, Found Loop Trail, Stairway to Heaven and a few other small loop trails. Also there is a detour to Eagles Roost which is a beautiful overlook and awesome campsite. I parked my car at Juniper Point and set out to find the Rock Creek Campground to locate the start of the trail. I was not able to find the actual beginning of the trail, I found a place where it intersected a dirt road about 2 miles from the actual start of the trail. I hiked back a little over a mile to mile marker 12 and decided to start the hike from there. I made it all the way to the Lost Loop Trail on the first day and camped about 1/2 a mile down the trail. Day 2 was more challenging with steeper climbs and the trail becoming more rugged and rocky. Overall, I would rate this as a very easy hike, the miles seem to fly by without much effort. The area is very beautiful but there is a trash problem near the marina's that you walk past. Great for an overnight trip or a long dayhike. You can easily walk the entire trail in one day. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more great adventures at Somewhere on the Trail.
