My review is limited to the OSU parking lot to Sperry only: Paved trail, somewhat shady, but not the part of town to be in. Broken glass on trail, no toilets. We were told the ride from Sperry to Skiatook was much nicer.
We parked at the Skiatook park trail head. Very nice, actually a “10”. Headed south toward tulsa. Nice trail, lots of ups and downs. Got really sketchy as we approached Turley. Lots of trash and glass along the trail. Passed an older man carrying a handgun, no kidding. He was an older guy who was friendly. Indicates trail may not always be safe in this area. No issues, kept heading south to Tulsa. Overall nice ride, just need to clean up this area.
Trail an asphalt paved with easy grades. Southern areas are urban and have a significant homeless presence. Sperry is a wonderful town that has embraced the trail wholeheartedly. Skiatook has an excellent park on the trail but I couldn’t find anything of trail to recommend. All in all a great ride.
I rode the Osage Prairie trail in October 2024. I started in Central Park in Skiatook and rode to the north terminus then back south to E 63rd st N in Turley. The trail was great up to that point then there was a lot of trash and broken glass. I saw a group milling around ahead of me so I turned around. The 10 or so miles I rode in the north part were 5 stars. A nice straight long distance trail. There are two busy road intersections and the death machines DO NOT slow down so be careful on those. I had a close to death experience. Traveling cyclist Facebook
On 9/19/24 rode the trail for about 9.5 miles with my wife. The trail was good macadam the entire length and flat and mostly shady. The Central Park had restrooms, water, parking with security cameras. No water, services or restrooms in that section along the trail. The trail was very nice till we approached Turley. Litter was then everywhere along the trail and dogs wandering .
We rode the entire 16.8 mile trail from the OSU-Tulsa trailhead to the end of the trail ~1.5 miles north of Skiatook and back. It’s a blacktop trail the entire way. The banner for the trail on Trailink says there is a bridge out. That is not correct. The first 4.5 miles heading out of Tulsa goes through some gritty landscape with a lot of litter along the trail. Once you clear the urban area, you head through a mix of pasture and farmland, some wetlands, and a few rural towns. The trail is in good shape and appears to be well maintained. Quite a few crossings over adjacent roads, but few are high volume. Not as scenic as many trails that we have ridden, but a pleasant, flat ride.
It is a great ride in some places. There is still a bridge out so you have to take a detour which is dangerous. You also have to cross a lot of streets. We always stop at the little park in the center of Sperry where they have free WiFi courtesy of the Cherokee nation. There is also too much trash but at least someone took away the broken toilet.
Beautiful scenery, well kept, not crowded. Love all the bridges!
Rode from skiatook to Sperry. So easy and flat and pleasant. Lots of green trees and nice bridges and country roads. Interestingly this trail is NOT on all trails
We started at Jo Allyn park and enjoyed the shady ride heading northwest. Spotted two cardinals, a doe, and many grey squirrels.
