🏙️ Exploring Tulsa: A Hidden Gem for Winter Travel ✨

Interesting little park in Tulsa hills. Views are very obscured but overlook the Arkansas river and Tulsa from a southwesterly vantage point. Went in the morning so unfortunately the sun was in my face trying to view from the points. I found the trails poorly marked. In fact there are large amounts of unmarked trails crisscrossing the whole place. Not a huge deal because the park is small and it would be hard to get lost here. The trail is very sandy. A fine, dusty sort of sand like dry silt. The rocks are very square shaped and can be slippery in the morning dew. Place smelled. Likely the waste water treatment plant unfortunately nearby. Had a weird amount of water bottles left everywhere and clearly suffers from it's proximity to lots of humans. A good resource for those living nearby to walk and jog or bike. The lower part has a paved bike path which, after crossing a railroad goes along part of the Arkansas river. Brown, murkey and shallow, polluted. Saw some cool flowers, and mushrooms and insects a frog and something slithered. Where are the birds? Only a few. Forget about quietude as the sounds of the highways are ever present. Overall 2/5 stars. Wouldn't go out of my way to visit this place as an out of towner, but good resource for those who live nearby. Also didn't see any turkeys.

We had a great time exploring the area. Unfortunately, someone posted pictures of waterfalls that weren't there. Sad to say, we lost time that we could have been exploring... Instead, we were chasing waterfalls. :-P There are no waterfalls, the pics posted by that individual are from Natural Falls State Park. Thankful to the local residents for the info. The trails at Turkey Mountain are lush and beautiful! We found many spots to rest and enjoy a beautiful view of the river and downtown Tulsa. Looking forward to going back. :-) I wish I'd taken more pictures but we were so frustrated by the misinformation we received.

Gorgeous. Really needed a good walk/hike to clear my mind and this was the best place to escape the city for a bit. I love the outdoors and came from the wide open country so this kinda felt like home. It looks well tooken care of. People i seen were friendly and the air was fresh. Still heard the roaring highway but it was easy to tune out. I suggest taking the yellow trail if you love to hike and take in your surroundings. Trail is marked well if you keep left but after you make the loop the signs are a little spaced out, still nothing to worry about. Steep and rocky so watch your step.

I'm originally from New England so I'm used to the White Mountains in New Hampshire, so the first thing I did when I moved here was ask where I could go hiking and I was told Turkey Mountain. Turkey mountain is a beautiful park and hiking area with easy, intermediate, and difficult trails for all levels of experience. They have awesome mountain biking trails as well as walking trails. It's perfect for the whole family. It's only 20 minutes from Tulsa and it's the perfect local escape for people who love the outdoors and hiking without having to drive hours.

Easy to find from downtown Tulsa for either the top or button parking lots. Plenty of trails to choose from; for beginners to moderate. The natural staircase was awesome! Issues are that the park maps doesn't match the hiking trail app - All trails. Plus several trails are shared with mountain bike riders who are full of themselves that don't have the courtesy to announce if they are coming up from behind. My group including our young daughter and we were nearly ran over twice from bikers with no courtesy.
