Lake Overholser Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Lake Overholser is an artificial lake created in 1916, which locals mostly call "Lake Hold Her Closer". In 1924 the then new steel bridge over the North Canadian River was built. It carried Route 66 until a new four-lane bridge was built a bit north in 1958.

Lake Hefner

Highlight • Lake

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 run.

Bert Cooper Trails

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Bert Cooper Trails, formerly Lake Hefner Trail, is a fantastic paved route surrounding the lake's perimeter. There are plenty of access points along the path, including parking areas, restrooms, and water, if you need to take a break. Along the way, you will see lots of sailboats in the water, adding to the already stunning lake views, especially if you are lucky to be here to see the sunset.

Lake Hefner Lighthouse

Highlight • Monument

Built in 1999, the 36 foot tall lighthouse is an icon in the Oklahoma City area. It was modeled after the Brant Point Light Station on the north side of Nantucket Island in Massachusetts. A 75 foot long jetty takes you out to the lighthouse and views out over Lake Hefner.

Oklahoma River Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This 23.0 kilometer loop trail connects Oklahoma City to its western suburbs. It allows you to easily get out of the city via a cycle path that runs along the river as well as the lakes. It is used by cyclists but also by runners so be careful while riding. The very good asphalt of which it is made and the numerous parks along its route make it pleasant.

Crystal Lake & memorial

Highlight • Lake

With a pavilion, walking/biking path, and fishing access, Crystal Lake is a gem along the West River Trail. There is a memorial at the end of this short spur trail giving thanks to Safari Belay McDoulett, a key contributor in the revitalization of the lake.
