The Oklahoma River Trails contain 13 miles of multiuse, asphalt trails, which are located on the north and south banks of the river.  The trails are level with little change in grade. 

Please note: Portions of the Oklahoma River Trails are currently under construction.
  See the bottom of this page for a complete update.

Perhaps the best feature of the river's trail system is that it's free of motorized vehicle crossings.  Walkers, runners, rollerbladers, skateboarder, cyclists and those using disability mobility aids are welcome to use the trails.

The north trail is six miles in length.  Visitors can access the north side of the Oklahoma River trails from the following parking areas:

• Regatta Park, off Byers Avenue, just west of the Byers Avenue Bridge
• SW 15th, between Walker and Robinson
• Wheeler Park, SW 9th and Shartel

The south trail is seven miles long. Parking lots on the south side are located at:

• SW 15th and Meridian
• River Park, SW 8th and Agnew
• Wiley Post Park, SW 17th and Robinson
• SW 15, just east of Portland

A portion of the south trail from Pennsylvania to Western will be closed for construction of a boat ramp and parking area.  The trail should reopen in spring, 2006.

Trails allowing people to cross the river from north to south are currently not in place.  Connections will be constructed when funds become available.

Vehicles including go-carts, motorcycles, scooters and four-wheelers are not allowed on the trails. Disability mobility aids are allowed. Pets must be leashed. 

Length: 13 miles

Parking Areas: Parking areas are located at Wiley Post Park, Wheeler Park and River Park. Additional parking areas will be added.

Surface Type: Asphalt

Future plans are to connect the trail with the east portion of the South Grand Trail and the Tinker-Draper Trail.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE:  DECEMBER 28, 2009 (Updated as projects change)

All Oklahoma River Trails are open except for the north side of the river from Lincoln Avenue Bridget to the Centennial Bell tower. This section remains closed due to boat house construction.
