If you want a little bigger "bite" of the trail...
Instead of starting at the marina, drive north to Juniper Point (last left before crossing the Red into Oklahoma). The trail starts there. If going in Friday evening, there is a great spot to camp right on the water about 1.2 miles in. Trees perfect for a hammock. Then Saturday morning hike out out to either the 5 Mile Camp area or on to Eagle Roost (my favorite). Total mileage from Juniper Point to Eagle Roost is a little under 7 miles. Then hike back out to Juniper on Sunday morning.
I like the stretch between Juniper Point and the marina the best. The trail can get a little lost around the marina. Just walk the road down towards the water then off to the left and you'll hit the trail again.
