Directions Highway 62 south from Tahlequah to Stone Chapel Road (at the Midway Store). Go south on Stone Chapel until it takes an extreme sharp left turn, approx. 4 miles. You will see the Zeb entrance to the CWMA, with a wide chat road leading into the park. You can park just inside the entrance for day riding (no water or toilets) or you can follow the main road for approx. 3 miles to the low-water slab bridge and camp overnight there.
