Possibly the most beginner friendly mile of trail in Tulsa, this smooth, meandering trail runs from Lubell Park to the west to the Mooser Hollow wooden bridge, overlooking Mooser creek for much of the way.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Green Rating: Beginner features and moderate terrain.

A couple of berms could give an adaptive rider some trouble if taken too slowly - could lead to tipping over.
