• Unique park system that goes right through central Tulsa.
• People who can't share the trial -- bikers and walkers.

“This is a great place -- one of the places that some people from Tulsa cherish and others will regret losing if its ever developed further or somehow otherwise ceases to exist. Sure, there isn't water south of the Pedestrian Bridge a lot of days, and yes, it gets very hot and smelly. But you have to know where to go! If you stay north of the Pedestrian Bridge, there is the Zink Lake, which is used by several rowing crews. The trial itself is actually linked with a trial that stretches to downtown Tulsa, Sand Springs, and all the way to the Jenks River Walk. There is a restaurant, River's Edge, just north of the 21st Street Bridge. It's sort of a bar with live music and nachos, but very popular nonetheless. There are playgrounds throughout the park system, with the best likely on the west side of the river, south of the 21st street bridge -- there's an old west themed playground and a skateboard park. Be careful -- if you want to go to Jenks, the west tails aren't connected the whole way! The trial abruptly ends near I-44. To go south, you must stay on the east side of the river. If you go west, you'll have to go all the way back around to the pedestrian bridge, which isn't fun on a hot day. The 71st street bridge can get you to Turkey Mountain, which is, among other things, a great mountain biking trail. Near 91st or so, the bridges get you to the Jenks RiverWalk.”

• Plenty of parking.
• Crime.

“It's just a several mile long strip of dirt with a little asphalt and a little grass, running alongside a river without enough water to drown in. At night, better jog with a friend. ”
