Confirmed from Valley Ridge 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.

What runners say about Valley Ridge Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (39 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

I love this trail. It’s kind of noisy with the Creek Turnpike traffic so close but with a set of headphones and a podcast... it’s pretty amazing. You can get in a 4 mile run out and back without crossing any traffic by parking at Elm street lot where the city of Broken Arrow have a well lit lot with a nice restroom…

★★★★★ — Warren , Dec 2020

A paved running path open to bike or walk your dog. Spent some time on this with my skateboard.

★★★★★ — Joseph , Nov 2023

I love walk so beautiful sky wind feel good might I will go again many times. but I can't hear other car hwy so I am deaf

★★★★★ — Devin , Jun 2021

Good quality trail. Hills for those looking for the workout. Easy in and out. Walking right beside the turnpike so a lot of traffic noise, so not a quiet walk if that is what you are looking for.

★★★★★ — Phillip , Jul 2020

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.
