From I-44 take Highway 49 (exit 45). Go west 10 miles to the Refuge gate. If coming from Highway 62, take Highway 115 (Cache exit) north to the Refuge Gate. Proceed to the Doris Campground. Trail head is at the lake headwaters.
I did this hike from the Doris campground. I started by going left at the split. Nice view points at Lake Quanah Parker. Relatively easy hike overall. But it was VERY difficult to navigate getting back to Doris via the loop shown. I spent some time wandering in circles. And yes, I do have the pro version so I had the map downloaded. I would advise doing the hike from the Trailhead at the lake and exploring by the lake too. It was very windy this day and it's pretty open and exposed - there were times I thought the wind might blow me over!
decent afternoon hiking trail ! it could definitely use some trail markers, and we went off course A LOT. you can reach the top of the peak with a bit of climbing.
Keep an eye out for wildlife. We had to wait out a herd of longhorns from the summit.
The west side has stairs to make it more accessible but super adventurous! The kids LOVE it!
