Kenton, OK - Hiking - 8.4 miles

#3. Turkey Mountain Park Trails
Monstrous trails. That is the only thing I can think to say. This is a lot of hard riding, technical and dangerous. There are miles of trails on both sides of the power lines that bisect the property ...

#6. NuDraper Mountain Bike Park
A jump-a-mile, fun-fun-fun trail, you can’t beat this place for sheer enjoyment. Gosh, these OEF folks are just monsters. They build some superb, sweet, smart single-track. As I heard it, a guy named ...

#7. Bluff Creek Trail
This is another place I chased the OEFers on their single-speed bikes. Again, I prefer gears, but riding with these people makes me sure I will build a single-speed bike one of these days. There’s no ...

#10. Roman Nose State Park Trail
The local trail crew, Team Body Bag, will probably laugh at me for putting so much drama into this profile, but I think this place is hard. The climbs are not notable by Oklahoma standards, but it is ...
