Bike and Hike in Edmond

The expanse of Edmond can be traversed by foot or on wheels using the trail system. With more than 40 miles of paved and multi-use trails, there are endless opportunities for exercise and exploration.

Mitch Park Trail features a 2.8 mile paved outer trail with 1.8 miles of inner trails. The 1.5 miles of primitive trails can be accessed at various trailheads throughout the park.

The lush forest offers shade on the Fink-Hafer Trail’s 1 mile path to Hafer Park. The park is split by a creek and red rocks offer climbing opportunities.

Hafer Trail offers a 1.7 mile ride through the park among towering trees. Hafer Park has a bit of forest, prairie and a pond to explore.

Bickham-Rudkin Trail takes a loop around an urban pollinator prairie on it’s 1.25 mile trail which continues along a pond and Whispering Heights Park to connect to Oklahoma Christian’s 2.5 mile Eagle Trail.

Being on a bike is about joy! Whether you are celebrating the opening of a new trail or just out for a fun ride. Biking in Edmond makes cycling a passion.

Arcadia Lake Park holds a 6.5 multi-use trail used by mountain bikers, trail runners and hikers. The 2.5 mile Spring Creek Trail features dedicated cycling and pedestrian lanes as well as great views of the lake and lush fauna. The park is also home to a 6-mile equestrian trail with shoreline passes surrounded by mature trees.

The Route 66 Trail, a project led by the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, is part of the overall plan to complete a trail system around Arcadia. The trail offers two expansive lanes with plenty of room for cycling, walking, running, strolling or dog walking and periodic resting points with benches.
