We rode the entire 16.8 mile trail from the OSU-Tulsa trailhead to the end of the trail ~1.5 miles north of Skiatook and back. It’s a blacktop trail the entire way. The banner for the trail on Trailink says there is a bridge out. That is not correct. The first 4.5 miles heading out of Tulsa goes through some gritty landscape with a lot of litter along the trail. Once you clear the urban area, you head through a mix of pasture and farmland, some wetlands, and a few rural towns. The trail is in good shape and appears to be well maintained. Quite a few crossings over adjacent roads, but few are high volume. Not as scenic as many trails that we have ridden, but a pleasant, flat ride.
It is a great ride in some places. There is still a bridge out so you have to take a detour which is dangerous. You also have to cross a lot of streets. We always stop at the little park in the center of Sperry where they have free WiFi courtesy of the Cherokee nation. There is also too much trash but at least someone took away the broken toilet.
Beautiful scenery, well kept, not crowded. Love all the bridges!
The trail is not bad, decently maintained. However, this is a rough part of Tulsa. There was homeless camps in the woods next to the trail, there was a homeless guy passed out on the trail, I was threaten by a gang member. If you’re gonna do this trail, don’t do it alone. Also a lot of construction as of august 2022. It also leads right to David L. Moss which is a very dangerous area and a lot of homeless.
Rode from skiatook to Sperry. So easy and flat and pleasant. Lots of green trees and nice bridges and country roads. Interestingly this trail is NOT on all trails
We started at Jo Allyn park and enjoyed the shady ride heading northwest. Spotted two cardinals, a doe, and many grey squirrels.
We parked just north of the 71st St. bridge on the east side, road across the river end up to Turkey Mountain. We continued open till the trail is closed at 36th St. The section near 30 turkey mountain is forested and beautiful, but you do pass next to a sewage treatment plant. North of the Sewage treatment plant is not as beautiful as the turkey mountain section, but still a nice ride. The climb up to Turkey Mountain from the river averages about 3 1/2% for about a half mile. The steepest sections are between 4 1/2 and 5%. We turned around at 36th St. and backtracked . Coming into Turkey Mountain from this direction again it averages about 3 1/2% grade for a little over a half mile, but the steepest sections are around 9%, but are very short. This is a good trail for a good exercise ride. We only passed a few bicyclist along the way and a few walkers New Jersey now. Other than that¿
I parked near the sand volleyball area just south of 71st st. Rode north along the river to Southwest Blvd then crossed the river. Rode south for about a mile and the Riverparks west trail was closed about a mile south of the river crossing I then backtracked to the start instead of doing a planned loop. Total of 15 miles.
The trail is beautiful. Well maintained surface in a beautiful greenspace, multiuse parkway. Trail was not overly busy as Tulsa Tough was happening at the same time. I assume many of the more serious riders were in this event.
This is one of the most beautiful trails I have ridden, even though it was very hot and muggy at mid-day. There were restrooms and water along the way if needed.
I read the reviews and they all had merit; there is horse poop on the trail, a bridge is out with no warning or signs of being repaired and there are multiple streets to cross and some of them are fairly heavily trafficked—on the plus side, it’s also very lovely, shaded for long stretches and not busy. Slight grades, easy to run/walk/bike. I ran 10 and I saw only one bike and two walkers. Overall very pleasant—no lighting along trail so not a good spot to go before or after the sun comes or goes.
Just a small connection from Riverpark to Katy, easy and short, I’ve not seen anyone in passing when I run here.
Nice trail, well maintained, not very busy, mostly flat with some slight grades, long stretches are shaded and then some are full sun. There is a fairly sizable homeless/addicts/drunk population that live in the bushes and by the trains. No one bothered me as I ran but I definitely would bring my mace next time I run this, and never in the evening or too early in the morning.
