Description
The Cleveland Trail in Cleveland, Oklahoma, follows an abandoned right-of-way of the old Missouri–Kansas–Texa Railroad (MKT). The trail runs for 2.5 miles between Jodebo Road south of the town and the Arkansas River opposite Osage. The trail ends at the old trestle crossing the river.
The trail follows a wooded corridor with surrounding wetlands riverine habitat. Year-round watch for waterfowl and shorebirds. During winter, you may see a bald eagle.
