Thanks Bill, Looks like the east side of 16 right. This isn't part of the usual ADV ride so I was confused.
Looks like a fun road though!
Yes it is! Someone needs to squeeze past the gate and tell us if it's passable.

Is there a gate at the Arbuckle entrance as well? Btw, I just love your ride reports, so inspiring, makes me want to go investigate right now!
That gate went up after the really wet spring of 2018, not sure how bad it is. I was tempted to go around the right side where that concrete pillar is leaned over, but decided not to.
I was tempted to go around too, basically treating it like the eastern entrance of Reiff Rd, but eventually decided against it.
In your report you take Sand Creek Rd all the way to Arbuckle; isn't it possible to turn left on Green Rd instead, then take Spring Valley Rd to end up on Walnut Dr?
No actually I took Sand Creek to Cortina School Rd then a couple more jogs to end up on Walnut Rd, then crossed 20 to start Leesville Rd.
Yeah, I used "Arbuckle" for Cortina School Rd.
About a mile after Rd41 merges with Sand Creek Rd, there is a split on the road where one can continue right onto Sand Creek Rd (and end up on Cortina School Rd), or go left onto Green Rd, then after a couple of miles another left on Spring Valley Rd, which ends up on Walnut Dr.
Yeah, the local Indian tribe has bought lots of land in that area and has closed off Spring Valley Rd so that is not an option anymore.
That's too bad.
I presume that Rd57 that starts from Guinda, moves N/NE, meets Sills Rd, and terminates at Wyer Rd SE of Arbuckle is equally blocked at both ends?
Rd. 57 is private and gated right after the Vernon Nichols County Park at cache creek bridge, not a county road but might have been at one time.
I am wanting to check out Knoxville ohv Park myself but will probably transport bike there as it is even less dual sport after I changed the gearing...lol
