Description:
The Osage Prairie Trail follows the corridor of the old Midland Valley Rail. The trail links Oklahoma State University in Tulsa with the town of Skiatook to the north. The trail is lighted in places for night use, and passes through both urban and rural landscapes. The southern end is mostly suburban, while around Skiatook and Sperry the trail takes on a more countryside atmosphere.

Well Worth the Trip
By mjerabek in October, 2010
This is a very nice trail. Prefectly flat and straight. It is well maintained. However, there are limited facilities. We had to use the restrooms at a public library about two blocks from the Tulsa trailhead. About 6 miles from the Skiatook Trailhead there is a junk yard where a pack of about 5 dogs are loose, but all they did was bark and chased alongside us for 50 yards or so.

We started at the Skiatook Trailhead. From Tulsa you go north on Hwy 75 to OK 20 and then go west into Skiatook. The trailhead is on the west edge of town right on OK 20. Currently there is new construction of a public park where the trailhead will start. This will be an outstanding trailhead when completed. You can pick up the trail about a block south of the construction where there is a parking area.

We live in the Hilton Head area and an item in our bucket list is to completed a bike ride in every state. This trail completed Oklahoma for us and it was well worth the effort.
Great,

Correct location for the Osage Prairie Trail
By nancydb in May, 2009
The Osage Prairie Trail actually runs from the OSU Tulsa campus near Greenwood and Archer to Skiatook Ok ending at state highway 20(main street). It is lite for a mile and a third on the Skiatook end and through the town of Sperry. The trail contains 3 very scenic bridges and is somewhat shaded. There are several water fountains along the trail.
