Best Trails in Oklahoma

[bsdc]

I'm off Thanksgiving week. I will be visiting family in Tahlequah on Thanksgiving day. I'll be staying in my travel trailer, so I like places I can camp and ride. My plan is to start off in Palo Duro Canyon and work my way across Oklahoma to Tahlequah. I'm an intermediate rider use to some hills and chunk, but fast and flowy is fun too. I'm looking at Tom Steed.

Any advice?

Tom steed hasn't been maintained and is an expert trail. I would hit roman nose, lake mcmurtry, and then turkey mountain.

These aren't the best trails, but they are close to where you'll be.

Sparrow Hawk is in Tahlequah. Some tough climbs and lots of small rocks.

Greenleaf (ankle express) is one of my favorite trails, but most of it is closed this time of the year due to deer hunting.

Expert is relative. I'm not one to huck myself off steep stuff, but I do like chunky trails and I don't mind walking a few sections. Lack of maintenance is another issue.

I'll look into those other three trails more.

I've been riding Greenleaf the last two Thanksgiving weekends. No deer hunting issues. It is a little overgrown but ridable and enjoyable. Kind of light intermediate riding. I'm aware of Sparrow Hawk. I need to find it.

Going to be a morning ride @ Turkey Mtn on Thanksgiving - its a canned food drive so bring a few cans. Starts @ 9

I'll probably be going out again on fri-sat-sun if I can

albeit I'm pretty new to this world so I'm still in the ass clenching phase of mtb, especially around rock

Here is a site of the OEF, the local OK mtb club. I am assuming your coming across I-40, do Roman Nose, north of I-40 western OK, then hit the Draper Lake Trail on your through OKC, just south of I-40. All trails should be dry enough to ride.

Well, Turkey Mountain would be new to me, so I'd probably be doing my fair share of clinching, too. I'll try to be there. Is there any particular place everyone meets?

We're also having a day after Thanksgiving Turkey Ride at Draper Lake. Also I just rode Roman Nose last Saturday and that place would be perfect if you want somewhere to camp and ride. You can also do some of that at Lake McMurtry and I believe Lake Thunderbird. Bluff Creek here in the city is fun, but only 4 miles long.
