Awesome well paved and separate from car traffic trail crossing the Arkansas River. Connects east and west trails to form the loop. Western terminus is on top of the hill, and makes for a challenging climb but a great downhill ride on the other side!
The West Bank Trail helps to form a loop along the Arkansas River in Tulsa. The west side is a mix of urban in the north, industrial in middle, and forest in the south. The southern terminus has a challenging gradient, so be prepared. Also, the southern area has off road gravel trails, but I don’t do gravel, so can make no further comment about them.
I rode the Centennial Trail in mid April in a weekday morning. The trail is in good shape and very few people. I was able to hammer most of the way. I recommend checking this trail out. I give it five stars though it could use some cleaning up. Traveling cyclist Facebook
Nice shaded areas with picnic tables and views of the river.
I rode the West Bank trail in October 2024 and the trail is open end to end. I started at the pedestrian bridge then rode south to Turkey Mountain. There is a pretty good hill that is in two sections right at the south end. I then rode north to Rt. 66 — Southwest Blvd and rode back on the East Bank. Great trail with a lot of solitude. I rate it 5 stars! Traveling cyclist Facebook
I rode the Riverparks East Bank in mid October 2024. The trail was open from end to end. It’s like a bicycle super highway with lane markings and no passing zones completely separated from the adjacent pedestrian path with very few death machine crossings. Overall a level, very safe, and enjoyable trail. I rate this 5 stars for sure! Traveling cyclist Facebook
My favorite trail around. Well maintained and plenty of hills. I start at the NSU trail head and ride to where it meets the creek turnpike trail then head back. Some parts have plenty of shade, some no shade. There are benches and a bathroom stop.
Ride my bike from the liberty trail to the turnpike trail. Great ride!
Love the atmosphere, people, parks, and it’s also a pretty scenery all throughout! Love seeing active people enjoy along with their kids tagging along.
We parked just north of the 71st St. bridge on the east side, road across the river end up to Turkey Mountain. We continued open till the trail is closed at 36th St. The section near 30 turkey mountain is forested and beautiful, but you do pass next to a sewage treatment plant. North of the Sewage treatment plant is not as beautiful as the turkey mountain section, but still a nice ride. The climb up to Turkey Mountain from the river averages about 3 1/2% for about a half mile. The steepest sections are between 4 1/2 and 5%. We turned around at 36th St. and backtracked . Coming into Turkey Mountain from this direction again it averages about 3 1/2% grade for a little over a half mile, but the steepest sections are around 9%, but are very short. This is a good trail for a good exercise ride. We only passed a few bicyclist along the way and a few walkers New Jersey now. Other than that¿
I parked near the sand volleyball area just south of 71st st. Rode north along the river to Southwest Blvd then crossed the river. Rode south for about a mile and the Riverparks west trail was closed about a mile south of the river crossing I then backtracked to the start instead of doing a planned loop. Total of 15 miles.
The trail is beautiful. Well maintained surface in a beautiful greenspace, multiuse parkway. Trail was not overly busy as Tulsa Tough was happening at the same time. I assume many of the more serious riders were in this event.
This is one of the most beautiful trails I have ridden, even though it was very hot and muggy at mid-day. There were restrooms and water along the way if needed.
