Lake Hefner is beautiful and one of the area's most popular sailing destinations. As a reservoir source of drinking water for the city, swimming is not allowed here. However, there are plenty of beautiful sailboats to admire, combined with two parks, picnic areas, several East Wharf restaurants and a beautiful lighthouse, making it a spectacular location for a bike ride.
