I know its a good drive for some of you guys but the Kisatchie is now open. I ride mostly in the Cravens trails NE of DeRidder, LA. Cravens is a stop sign town a couple miles fron the trailhead with two convenience stores both with non-eth gas. 87 oct, used it for many years with no issues. Excellent trailhead with bathroom and maps available. Typical NF rules but the Ranger is a great guy with no prejudice or agenda. Just pay the fee, act like an adult, stay on the estabilished trails and enjoy your day with zero hassle.
