Fun elevation change near Turkey mountain

Bluff Creek Park is a bit of a wilderness oasis near Lake Hefner. You'll find miles of paved and unpaved trails to explore, along with covered picnic areas, sports fields, and a decent population of wildlife.

Lake Draper Trail is a paved walking, running, and biking path that circles around the entirety of Stanley Draper Lake. The path keeps pretty close to the lake, but it honestly doesn't have a ton of wide open views. The first few miles are kind of close to the road, but you get to spend the majority of your time walking through tunnels of trees and grasses on the east side of the lake.

Enjoy the nice views towards both sides of the Arkansas River while crossing the 71st Street Island bridge.

Lake Stanley Draper is one of three reservoirs in the city and a fantastic spot for outdoor enthusiasts. It is a popular spot for fishing and boating, with picnic tables and several trails around its perimeter. It's a great spot to spend the day enjoying time with nature away from the city.

Lake Arcadia is a beautiful recreation spot where locals enjoy a variety of outdoor activities year-round. Especially popular for picnicking, swimming, and fishing, there are several trails perfect for a run in a beautiful setting. It is important to note that if you want to enjoy one of the beaches or take a swim to cool off, there is a $6 fee to access the beach facilities.

The unpaved trails at Bluff Creek Park are twisty, smooth singletrack trails popular for both hikers and mountain bikers. The trails are easy to follow and are well-marked. There is also a paved path that circles around the interior of the park that you can run, walk, and bike on.

There are several trails that connect Bales Park with Lubell Park, and Woodview is one of them. It's a multi-use trail that you'll enjoy regardless of the direction you take. You will also pass over a beautiful wooden bridge spanning the creek at one of its ends.
