Confirmed from Lake Bixhoma Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

well-maintained 4 mentions

“waterfall is manmade but still very pretty, the trails are kept clean and the park is never too crowded”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“Beautiful place me and my wife went and it is a amazing place”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 6 mentions

“Little known/quiet lake with minimal facilities but nice walking trails.”

Went here on an unseasonably warm day in early November. Only walked a half mile of the trail (apparently the full loop is slight over 3 miles) which runs along the perimeter of the lake. Very serene (no traffic noise!) and wooded on the path, typical Oklahoma landscape of blackjack oaks and other trees.

★★★★★ — Marcus , Nov 2020

Great place for a picnic and 3.5 mile walk in the woods on a great trail that combines smooth gravel road, nicely graded gravel path, pleasant woodland path, and a few hundred yards of moderately rocky hills that require vigilance of footing. Fun little offshoots add to the pleasure.

★★★★★ — David , Feb 2021

Little known/quiet lake with minimal facilities but nice walking trails. Good for Kayaking or fishing without power boats racing up and down. Three usable picnic shelters (others vandalized). One portapotty on the North side and that's it.

★★★★☆ — Andrew , Nov 2020

I love this place for adventuring! A lot more trails and scenery to explore than I expect.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
