The Lake Hefner Bicycle and
Pedestrian Trail is a 3.7 mile 12’
wide asphalt trail in northwest
Oklahoma City. This trail completes
the loop between the existing trail
at Stars and Stripes Park on the
east and the Lake Hefner Dam Road on
the west. This is a much needed
linkage as the original trail was
overflowing with bicyclists,
walkers, joggers and roller bladers
on evenings and weekends.
This plan also involves planting
shade and ornamental trees along the
trail length, installing post and
cable fence or post and rail fence
at various points to prevent access
by vehicles or to provide separation
from the roadway, and providing
several rest stops with benches and
bicycle racks along the trail. One
rest stop will have a drinking
fountain for trail users.
Unique construction techniques
were utilized in the narrow trail
corridors adjacent to the lake.
Gabions are designed to be
constructed into the lake at 4
locations along the trail. The
gabions will provide adequate level
right of way for the trail to be
constructed. A 68’ pedestrian
bridge is designed to cross a
substantial inflow channel to the
lake with gabions providing
structural protection.
