Lake Hefner Loop

Lake Hefner is a local favorite for its ease of access, pleasant lake views, and non-technical trail surface. For those looking to make a day of it, hiking the entire 10 mile trail will be sure to get your blood pumping and your fitness-tracker steps in for the day. For those looking for a shorter outing, heading out an back along a smaller portion of the loop yields equally beautiful views of the scenery and pleasant people watching. Starting at the parking area, head either direction around the loop as it makes its way along the lakeshore. Occasionally you'll be next to low-traffic streets, so stay alert. This loop makes numerous connections with other local trails if you're looking to extend your outing.
