Confirmed from Turkey Mountain'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.
Hilly, forested park featuring jogging, biking & horseback riding trails, plus restrooms.

I'm originally from New England so I'm used to the White Mountains in New Hampshire, so the first thing I did when I moved here was ask where I could go hiking and I was told Turkey Mountain. Turkey mountain is a beautiful park and hiking area with easy, intermediate, and difficult trails for all levels of experience.
It's a beautiful park with lots of walking trails and places for fun weather or not it's just yourself or you bring a fur-baby or kids/whole family. There's a picnic area, playground spots (climbing rock zone) and trails to walk/bike/hike.
Easy to find from downtown Tulsa for either the top or button parking lots. Plenty of trails to choose from; for beginners to moderate. The natural staircase was awesome! Issues are that the park maps doesn't match the hiking trail app - All trails.
Very nice park. Well maintained. This park has separate trails for hikers, bikers, and horses. I did 3.83 miles 1.38 hrs. It was pretty humid. I did a loop on 2 different trails. Didn't see much wildlife, but it was pretty busy with people.
