Other Names | Leslie County, Willie Begley Memorial RV Campground |
Last Known Status | Closed |
The Daniel Boone ATV Trails was a multiple use trail system located on public land and managed by Leslie County but closed a few years ago and is no longer in operation. The RV park that bordered the ATV trails was also operated by the county but has recently reopened and is under new management. The campground also hosts various themed events and mud bogs throughout the year.
The Daniel Boone ATV Trails bordered and eventually tied into the Redbird Crest Trails, which is a separate trail system operated and managed by the US Forest Service. The Redbird Crest Trails can still be accessed by parking at one of the three designated staging areas. Those looking for an RV campground with direct trail access should contact the Stinnett Area Community Center RV Park, which is near the south-eastern portion of the Redbird Crest trails.
The Daniel Boone Trailblazers ATV Club offered guided tours and helped maintain the trails but as of this writing the club status is unknown.
