The Lone Star Trail was the name applied by some Texas cattlemen to the trail to the railhead in Kansas, joining part of the Chisholm Trail, which started on the Red River at the southern trading post of Chisholm's.

Not really pertinent, but in 1943, a film titled "The Lone Star Trail" was released, srtarring Johnny Mack Brown, Tex Ritter, and Fuzzy Knight. Robert Mitchum was in the supporting cast, and songs were by the Jimmie Wakely Trio, supporting Tex Ritter in some of the songs.
