Description
A look at biking on the Hefner, Katy, River, South Grand and Hefner-Overholser multi-use trails.
A
If
you're
a
fan
of
using
two-wheeled
pedal
power
for
your
recreation
or
exercise
but
have
some
concerns
about
riding
with
traffic,
you
need
to
check
out
some
of
the
city's
multi-use
trails.
The
city
has
many
paved
trails
and
we're
going
to
feature
five
of
them
that
are
more
than
five
miles
long
with
little
or
no
interaction
with
traffic.
The
leg
Hefner
trail
is
the
city's
oldest
and
probably
the
most
well
known
and
used
trail
in
the
city.
A
It
takes
just
under
ten
miles
to
make
a
full
loop
around
the
lake
and
there's
plenty
of
parking
with
numerous
access
points.
Besides
the
lake
views,
the
Lake
Hefner
trail
will
take
you
by
the
ball
fields
of
stars
and
stripes
park
and
past
some
of
the
scenic
holes
of
the
Lake
Hefner
golf
club.
If
you
like,
riding
near
water,
try
the
Oklahoma,
River
trails,
a
one-way
trip
on
the
south
bank
is
seven
miles
long,
while
the
north
side
trail
runs
six
miles.
A
Both
trails
offer
travel
unimpeded
by
traffic
running
under
the
major
roads
that
cross
the
waterway
parking
and
access
areas
are
also
available
on
both
sides
of
the
river.
If
you
want
to
turn
your
ride
along
the
Oklahoma
River
into
a
longer
trip,
you
can
connect
to
the
South
Grand
Trail,
which
meets
the
River
Trail
just
west
of
interstate
44.
A
In
the
east
side
of
the
Dell
facility,
the
ten
mile
plus
South
Grand
Trail,
then
head
south
through
Woodson
Park
at
Southwest,
33rd
Street
in
May,
then
East
making
use
of
grand
boulevards
median
east
of
Interstate
35.
The
trail
follows
Grands,
turned
back
to
the
north
through
trois
/
Park,
right
by
the
Oklahoma
City
Animal
Shelter,
and
then
continues
north
to
south
East
4th
Street,
which
is
about
a
mile
north
of
the
intersection
of
South
East
15th
Street
and
Grand
Boulevard
on
the
northeast
side
of
the
city.
A
You
can
ride
for
more
than
seven
miles
on
the
katy
trail
named
after
the
old
railroad
line
that
runs
parallel
to
a
portion
of
the
trail.
The
south
end
of
the
katy
trail
starts
at
Washington
Park
and
on
4th
Street
by
the
James
II
Stewart
golf
course
then
turns
north
just
east
of
the
course.
After
you
cross
northeast
16th
you'll
start
riding
beside
the
old
Cady
railroad
track.
The
trail
continues.
A
North
between
the
two
Lincoln
Park
golf
courses,
then
heads
west
on
northeast
50th
Street,
pass
the
Oklahoma
City
Zoo
and
ends
on
grand
about
a
half
mile
west
of
Martin
Luther
King
Avenue
over
on
the
west
side
of
town.
The
almost
8
mile
Hefner
Overholser
trail,
starts
on
the
west
side
of
Lake
Hefner
at
Britton
Road.
It
works
its
way
south
and
west.
A
Then
parallels
Council
Road
along
the
west
side
of
Wiley
Post
Airport
turns
west
on
50th
Street
to
Stinchcomb
Drive,
where
it
heads
south
and
meets
up
with
the
Lake
Overholser
Trail,
the
Hefner
Overholser
Trail
does
have
sections
of
on
street
riding
just
a
reminder
that
all
the
trails
we
highlighted
are
multi-use
trails
and
open
to
all
users,
including
walkers
and
skaters.
Also,
we've
just
mentioned
a
few
of
the
city's.
Many
multi-use
trails
use
this
path
to
visit.
