Firey Trails Has Hosted All These Event Types Below

On the Subject of Music Playlists for Amplification IMPORTANT - Only Music rated "E" for Everyone allowed to be played, please. This has been stipulated briefly in the past on our website but not taken too seriously by a party group or two. We reserve the right to prohibit amplification of any explicit music in nature or rating on our private property (Definition: Music containing any offensive or profane language, sexually graphic or otherwise inappropriate material for all ages.) We market ourselves as only a family friendly enterprise & environment and offer to play only music that supports or at least, doesn't take away from this image we've tried to build up over the years. We prefer that this issue be dealt with BEFORE a group chooses to schedule with us rather than it be a possible conflict later while an event is going on. We don't want to surprise your party group with rules you were unaware of or happened to overlook - but we also do not want to be surprised on our end with what we deem as objectionable material we must listen to while we are on stand-by working your event on our grounds. We want the entire experience (yours and ours) to be fun and positive. Catering to so many different kinds of groups currently in a very limited calendar, we want there to be no future ambiguity as to our policy as you consider scheduling. Thank you.
Event Coordinator - PLEASE READ & ADVISE YOUR GROUP OF THE ROUTE INFORMATION BELOW Since the issue below still comes up on a regular basis (to our continued frustration), we have added text for extra emphasis. Please read our "Wordy" but "Worthy" Advice on the Best & Simplest Route
If traveling from the Creek or Turner Turnpikes at Sapulpa, you will be tempted to take the 71st Street short-cut that you will come to first (according to what all the gadgets will say) but it will be worth your while to pass it up and go on north 3 miles to the better 41st route at South Sand Springs instead and then head west toward Firey Trails. We have a lesser "Back Roads" route mapped out just because some computer based mapping sites and GPS navigational programs will compute that this is the best route and tell you to go this way-especially if coming from the Creek/Turner Turnpike in Sapulpa. The back roads route is slightly shorter only by two or three minutes, but this definitely does not make it the best route overall. Time and time again, no matter how much we go overboard in informing on the website, unsuspecting visitors end up going the more difficult way and 10 times out of 10, they tell us they haven't been on our website to be adequately educated and warned about the vast difference in routes. Google Maps, GPS and Mapquest does not take everything into account when computing what they show is the best route to take. Let's just say, all these technological devices are full of high tech information but don't input any common sense into the equation when computing their directions. What the high tech devices will not compute is first of all, 71st Street is absolutely nothing like 41st Street. Of course, the locals know this but to out-of-towners reading a map (or MapQuest for that matter), one street is just like another. Although 71st has a blacktop surface, it is a lesser and narrower unlined "side street type" country road with some potholes and the westward bound street finally turns into an even lesser meandering dirt road at 177th - . (Whereas 41st is a main road in the area and main cross street with traffic signals and is a lined highway going west and east through Sand Springs.) Sometimes MapQuest says to take the 71st route and then other complicated twist and turns (to avoid taking the dirt road up ahead.) But if you do not turn off, 71st Street turns into a 2.3 mile stretch of an late 1800's ancient, narrow and winding dirt and gravel road (177th) that winds along Rock Creek and will make any out-of-towner feel they've started their Firey Trails adventure before they ever arrive (especially after dark). (There is "no charge" for this unintentional part of the FT experience, by the way.) Also if you have a nice car, you probably don't want little bits of road gravel flying up against your nice paint job. Also, the dirt portion of the road is only slightly wider than a bus in places, so we definitely do not encourage any larger vehicle coming this way (plus the turn in cannot be made this way with a larger vehicle.) We have a couple lesser Firey Trails signs on the back roads and the cross streets are marked with small street signs (most of the time-including the small 71st Street sign on Highway 97) but these street signs can be very challenging to see after dark. We cannot stress enough that you'll be much more confident of your route if you choose what we call the "High Road" which is the well marked, fully paved and lined, 41st Street highway route - which include three large metal reflective Firey Trails signs for the final 3.5 miles. These large reflective signs begin at the 41st Street/Coyote Trail fork just slightly west of the large Discoveryland billboard on the north side of 41st a little over 5 miles from the 41st Street/Highway 97 (Quik Trip) Junction in south Sand Springs. They show direction arrows and remaining mileage to Firey Trails. Say - When you get here , ask us what we REALLY think - about the route we think you ought to take - if you can't figure it out by now! (Ha Ha) Hopefully, we've convinced you.
