Directions for those coming from the west are: 
>From Tulsa, OK:

1. Take US-412 East (this is a partial toll road – Cherokee Turnpike – I think it’s $2.50 for cars) – follow this for approximately 92.9 miles.

2. Turn right onto South Thompson Street/Business 71 South – follow this for approximately .4 miles.

    a. Helpful Hint: When turning onto Business 71 South, get into the left lane to prepare the left turn that will be next.

3. Turn left at the intersection of Business 71 South and E/W Robinson Ave – follow this for approximately 25.9 miles.

    a. Helpful Hint: This intersection is the first light you come to after turning onto Bus. 71 South and is a “Y” intersection, so it will look a bit odd.

4. Take the AR-23 North exit off of US-412 – turn right off the exit onto AR-23.  Follow this for approximately 1.3 miles.

    a. Helpful Hint: This exit is like a clover leaf exit – you will exit on the other side of the bridge.

5.  Turn left onto Co. Rd. 8580 – the road is marked by an orange cinderblock on the north side of the road.

6.  You are now on the camp road – simply follow it and the posted in-camp directional signs to get to Troll.

Please note, the deadline for those wishing to register hounds has past, and sadly exceptions can't be made.


We hope you can join us to celebrate the joys of the hunt and the wonders of fall
