In 1998, INCOG and the City of Tulsa retained LandPlan Consultants, Inc. to provide conceptual design of approximately 16 miles of multiuse trail along US 169 and Mingo Creek within the City of Tulsa. Eventually the trail will link the existing Creek Turnpike Trail at 96th Street and Memorial Drive to Mohawk Park to the north. Phase I begins at the City of Tulsa Nelson Detention Site (E. 26th Street South) and runs along the west side of Mingo Creek. The trail ends just south of 11th Street, adjacent to South 93rd Avenue. Phase I is 1.75 miles long.

Phases II and III of the Mingo Creek Trail extend South from the Nelson Detention Site (East 26th Street South) for over 2 miles. The trail follows Mingo Creek as it travels along Mingo Road and 31st Street south to 41st Street. The trail terminates at 41st Street adjacent to US 169. Mingo Creek Trail connects several neighborhood subdivisions to Hicks Park, a City park with active and passive recreation areas and a community center. In addition, three parks/detention sites, along the main stem, are linked with the construction of this trail.

Grade separated crossings to separate trail user from automobile at roadway crossings have been provided at all possible locations to provide increased safety.
