 Bridge on Overlook Nature Trail by Lake Tenkiller About a month ago, my girlfriend and I had a nice walk on the Overlook Nature Trail by Lake Tenkiller. The trail is about a mile long and connects Overlook Park to an area close to the Methodist Boys Ranch. I was excited to see quite a few people walking the trail. These are some photos I took.

Back on October 22, my girlfriend and I had a nice walk on the 1-mile Horton Slough Trail at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge, near Vian, Oklahoma. This is an easy-to-walk paved nature trail. It starts by the headquarters building and follows the Horton Slough to the shore of Sally Jones Lake where there is a very nice viewing area.  Swinging Bridge on Horton Slough Trail, Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge Back in mid-September, my girlfriend and I went to the Oxley Nature Center in Tulsa’s Mohawk Park. (Mohawk Park is also home to the Tulsa Zoo.) Our goal was to hike the North Woods Trail. We got to do that, but it took a little while to figure out where it was.  Entrance to the North Woods Unit of the Oxley Nature Center  North Woods Trail, Oxley Nature Center We started at the “North Woods Unit” trail head. It is on Mohawk Blvd in the northwest corner of the park. It is to the west of the main Oxley Nature Center area. What confused me initially is that I thought the “North Woods Unit” trail head was the trail head for the North Woods Trail. It’s not. (Unfortunately, there was no trail signage or blazing on the trails. It’s not too difficult to figure them out though.)  Approximate elevation profile based on GPS data. This recent video from Discover Oklahoma has a brief overview of the wide range of activities available at Oklahoma state parks. This recent video from Explore Tulsa gives a nice overview of the Oxley Nature Center, a great outdoor resource (with nature trails) in Tulsa’s Mohawk Park. |
