HIKERS MAY STILL USE THE OLD TRAIL IN FRONT OF THE CASINO. For trail updates, please visit the link here: https://www.riverparks.org/park-trail-updates/ Easy Urban Trail along the Arkansas River This is an urban trail located along the east bank of the Arkansas River as it bends south between Downtown Tulsa, OK and the east side of Jenks, OK. This trail is paved for the entire 11 mile stretch and is open to runners, hikers, bikes, and roller blades. Currently you can hike to the "BRRidge" near 31st street and back on the west bank trail if you want to create a 6.5 mile loop rather than the 11 mile trek all the way. The name "BRRidge" is because the walking path is hung from the bottom of an old railroad bridge. Along the trail you can see the 11th Street bridge which is an existing concrete span bridge that was originally Route 66. Between 61st and 71st street there is an optional singletrak trail that goes through a wooded area. In the winter you can also see bald eagles that fish the Arkansas River and nest in a protected area on the south end of the trail.
