Confirmed from Osage Prairie Trail South Trailhead'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

“Well maintained thru these towns and there is some nice country to see.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 6 mentions

“Exciting, beautiful, private, great adventure.”

Great trail that runs north to Sperry and Skiatook. Well maintained thru these towns and there is some nice country to see. It goes thru the center of Skiatook Central Park which is a very nice park.

★★★★★ — R , Mar 2018

Let's be clear...the trail runs for miles through Tulsa. Yes, you are going to ride past some things you don't want to see and through neighborhoods you don't want to hang out. Just peddle on because those items are few and far between.

★★★★☆ — James , Jun 2023

Very long paved trail going from Tulsa all the way up to Skiatook. Lovely views and great scenic walk.

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.
