Oklahoma City’s Katy Trail begins at Deep Fork Creek, near Interstate 44 and Grand Boulevard, and follows the roadway south along portions of an abandoned railroad. Those with an interest in trains can take a detour to visit the Oklahoma Railway Museum, situated in a former railroad depot at 3400 NE Grand Boulevard.
Along the northern half of the trail, you won't be far from many of the city's most popular attractions: the Science Museum Oklahoma, the Remington Park race track and casino, and the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden. You will also pass Northeast Lake, a favorite spot for many types of birds.
At its southern end, two parks offer many recreational amenities. Washington Park has a playground, picnic shelter and athletic fields. Douglass Park provides a baseball field and basketball courts, as well as a golf course and sprayground.
Parking is available at the Katy Trail's southern end at Washington Park (400 N. High Avenue) and Douglass Park (900 Carverdale Drive).
Great bike trail that is 6ish miles one-way. Can start by parking over by Douglas Park/golf course and the trail is connected right to the sidewalks. Uncrowded, nice greenery, some bridges, followed by train tracks, then ending a little past the Railway/Firefighter/Science/Zoo Museum. Ends at a little dead end loop by Deep Fork River when you bike past some neighborhoods.
The trail is well kept and nice. I only saw two other bikers. I wish it was longer or connected to other routes. I'll def bike it again.
This trail is a great connector to Northside of City. Ive ridden it many times with OBS & friends. There are still retired trains on tracks alongside the trail. It goes by two gold courses & its relatively flat except at the end there are some hills .
Just walked 3 miles of this trail starting at the science museum down and back about 3 miles each way. Made it to the 23rd street bridge. Kind of uneventful until you make it to the train tracks. Nice views and paved and maintained the hole way we went it was all sidewalk. Think it would be a very nice bicycle round trip.
