i had read some posts on this site that the lady at redriver cycle ranch had been telling people not to ride along the river because of the state laws !! Just wondering if this is true ,, we are planning a trip up there next weekend and had been up there on memorial day weekend .. Just wanted to know ahead of time ,,, cause from what i have heard ,i dont want to make the lady mad !!!!!

It is not legal to ride in the Red River or on the sand bars. It is okay to ride the trails along the high banks and in Mountain Creek. Once you drop off the high banks onto the sand bars you are in Oklahoma.

I have heard that it is somewhere up in damn yankee land . You know anywhere north of the Red River.

so if once u are on the sand bars u r in oklahoma , then how is it illegal to ride the sandbars ??? Is that an oklahoma law also ???

I am not sure if it is state or federal but I am fairly sure that if you are caught in the river that your motorcycle/ATV can be confisicated and you are subject to a substanical fine.

GRIZZ YOU ARE A NUT!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU USED THAT PICTURE AS AN ICON!!!!! HA-HA!!!!!!

I'd listen to Trailgage on this.

Nobody wants to pay one of those 'substanical' fines!!

rode there this past weekend and every1 was riding along the river banks and on the sand bars ,, so i did as well !!! I did notice signs coming in to the park that said something about not crossing the river ,, cuz of tresspassing !! I was also not impressed to find that riding had to end at 6 pm ,, as i found out the hard way !!!! I was pretty sure the page of rules said no riding after 9 ,, not 6 ,, but ohh well .. It was a good weekend of camping and riding ,,, cant wait till next time !!!

Great. They tell you not to ride in the river but since everyone else is doing it, you choose to. The proper thing would be to report those people to the park attendant.

If you guys don't start following the rules (whatever they may be) we will all end up with no place to ride. Don't you understand the consequences of your actions? There is a direct cause/effect relationship here.
