Washita Battlefield Trail is a 1.4 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Cheyenne, Oklahoma that features a river and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is accessible year-round.
January 15, 2021The trail provides different audio stops where a narrator describes the events of the battle.
November 17, 2020My favorite trail I’ve hiked so far. If you are in the area definitely walk this easy trail (half paved and half dirt path.) Make sure and stop at the visitor center and watch the 20 minute video (well done). This will give you a great background for this tragic event in history. You can buy the guide book which narrates each of the 15 historical spots clearly marked along the trail ($2.00) or you can call in for free at each spot. This helps understanding the site quite a bit. Once again do this trail if you can.
August 9, 2020Very well marked trail through the battlefield, with audio aids very so often. We were there alone the day we went and it was wonderful. Felt very much like sacred ground, and we did our very best to be respectful of such. There is a museum close by, which we unfortunately didn’t make it time to visit, but there is a very short little trail next to the museum with some cool info on local plants/healing herbs and a sod house. 10/10 would go again.
August 8, 2020Great and easy trail. We used the audio that is provided free of charge. Bring your ear buds.
July 28, 2020Short, fairly flat double loop through 1868 Cheyenne village and battle site. Trail partially paved with concrete. Excellent interpretive guide describes the battle and the village. A good way to spend an hour or so while learning some (rather saddening) American history.
May 25, 2020Very cool and scenic! Phone tour of the battlefield was especially neat! will be back!
April 30, 2020We really enjoyed this trail!
January 25, 2020This is a nice trail. They are working on paving it and have about half of it done.
December 3, 2018Nice walk with some guide booklets at the trailhead and benches along the trail for silent contemplation.
