Confirmed from Lake Ponca Mountain Bike & Walking Trails' 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.

What runners say about Lake Ponca Mountain Bike & Walking Trails

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (6 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

We've been to Ponca Lake hundreds of times and never even knew this existed! This is a fantastic set of trails to hike! They are various lengths so there's something for everyone!

★★★★★ — Emily , Mar 2021

The Lake Ponca Mountain Bike & Walking Trails offer the best lake views in Ponca City and are located just down the gravel drive by the Wentz Pool parking lot. The biking trails are 7.2 miles in length and the walking trail is 3 miles.

★★★★★ — Jennifer , May 2023

These trails are not only beautiful, a great escape from the city, but offer a range of different landscapes and native Oklahoma wildlife. Definitely a great place to check out and soak up some nature!
