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.
Four narrow trail corridors
located adjacent to the lake
required the construction of gabions
to stabilize the shore and provide
adequate, level right of way for the
trail construction. Gabions
were also implemented for structural
protection for a 68' pedestrian
bridge crossing a substantial inflow
channel to the lake.
