  Oklahoma City

  Up to 2 miles return · Out-and-back

  Asphalt / concrete main path

  Follow the signed main path north along the designated Katy main path. Turn after 1 outward mile or before the first public-road crossing, work barrier, uncertain continuation or uncomfortable transition, whichever comes first; retrace.

  Up to 2 miles return · Out-and-back

  Asphalt / concrete improved main path

  Follow the signed main path east along only the separated paved lakeside main path. Turn after 1 outward mile or before the first public-road crossing, work barrier, uncertain continuation or uncomfortable transition, whichever comes first; retrace. Walk any initial lot or access-drive interface. Do not use a road or private-property detour.

• Oklahoma River: short Boathouse District paved return

  Oklahoma City

  Up to 1 mile return · Out and back

  Paved north-bank shared-use waterfront path

  Walk from the visitor lot to the north-bank river path beside the boathouses. Ride east toward I-35, turning before the highway overpass or after half a mile, whichever comes first, then retrace. Stay on the public riverside path. Exclude pump tracks, jump lines, south-bank connections and the longer Greenway route toward Eastern Avenue.

  Short north-bank Boathouse District return only; turn before I-35. Western closure locations and the eastern-basin repair area are excluded. Closure-map evidence dates to October 15; check current event and trail signs before riding.

• Tulsa River Parks — 41st Street Plaza before I-44

  Tulsa

  About1.7miles main return plus parking walk · Out and back

  Asphalt main cycling path.

  River Parks describes its hard-surface river trails as mostly flat, with steeper connections at Turkey Mountain parking and the Katy Trail near Gilcrease Museum Road. This outing avoids those connections. It offers a short taste of the river corridor without requiring a bridge crossing to the west bank or a trip through the interstate underpass. “Mostly flat” is a qualitative owner description, not a measured maximum slope or an accessibility certificate for every approach.
