Some of the best hiking days in Oklahoma are during the winter without all the bugs and humidity. If you’re ready to shed some of those extra pounds you piled on over the holidays, I found the perfect place to go for an easy 1-mile winter hike in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area is a 300-acre outdoor haven on the west banks of the Arkansas River and offers stunning, panoramic views of Tulsa.
Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness is located at 6492 S Elwood Ave, Tulsa. The main entrance is accessed off of 67th and South Elwood on the west side of the Arkansas River.
Even though the Blue Trail is a bit more difficult, it offers a great hike. The trail takes you to the top of Turkey Mountain and leads you by a pond before taking you back to the trailhead.
Oklahoma is full of beautiful winter days that are perfect for hiking but if you're looking for a place to go even when there's snow on the ground, Turkey Mountain is a great choice.
