Trott Line

Trott Line is a continuously rough and adventurous route that climbs from Camp Road to the summit of Lookout Mountain, rewarding drivers with wide-ranging views of the Arbuckle Mountains. This diverse trail showcases the full variety of Cross Bar’s terrain, shifting from limestone flats to muddy creek bottoms and rugged sandstone climbs.

The eastern section begins as a wide, cedar-lined path over uneven limestone, with moderate ledges and ruts that flex suspension and demand careful tire placement. The middle section drops into a shaded hardwood creekbed where deep mud, trenches, and off-camber slopes keep drivers on alert. As the trail rises toward the west, the terrain changes dramatically, traversing a red sandstone where you encounter a series of 2-foot sandstone ledges before making its way to a loose, rocky incline that marks the final climb to the top of Lookout Mountain.

Trott Line is rated lightly difficult and best suited for modified 4x4s with small lifts and larger tires. Stock high-clearance vehicles may navigate much of the trail in dry conditions, but traction and clearance become critical after rain or in the deeper ruts of the midsection.
