Oklahoma River Trails

These are some great trails right next to the Oklahoma River!!Paved and flat, until you go under some of the bridges here, this was a great spot for me to get my runs in while I was here!!Easy parking, you will see the occasional runner or biker here depending on when you come. I did see a group run also!Along with the river, you do get some good views of the OKC skyline here!!

If you like long distance biking without a lot of incline or congestion, then the Oklahoma River Trails are for you. I mean, who wouldn't want to go fast without having to zig-zag in between runners, families or other bikes? The trail is well paved with the occasional slight gravel, which is totally avoidable. The path is somewhat like a large 13 mile oval shape, without any street crossings or stop signs. This would be a perfect spot to train for races. I would not recommend bringing your families on the trail just because road bikers are going fairly fast. Wouldn't want a little one stumbling in front of a bike going 20-30 miles a hour. For the sake of runners, the unseen corners are well marked with caution signs and there are two lanes to avoid collision. Overall it's a beautiful spot, there are geese and some other water fowl and the sun hits the river perfectly. There's a moment where you are riding beside a view of the city as well as the beautiful trail. This is probably the least congested biking trail I've been to in Oklahoma City. I would recommend starting at/ parking at Devon Boathouse at Regatta Park. There's also additional parking across the street. I could see this place being a good spot for group bikers as well, it's not far from Bricktown if you want to ride into the city a little bit to grab a bite to eat.

The trail along the south side of the Oklahoma River is well maintained. Beautiful views of the OKC skyline. Biked from the parking lot at 15th down to the east end of the trail and back. Reclaimed wetland areas make for an urban ride with a rural feel. The trail does pass close to the stockyards...be prepared for 100 yards of stench.
