Easy trails and a Nature Center.

Easy Trails, Wildlife, and Nature Center
Inside Mohawk park near the zoo.
Trails next to bluffs, Easy Trails, Small Nature Center.
East of Tulsa by Catoosa.
There are more that I really like farther outside of Tulsa.
I think I will wait and share those another day.
Do you live in the Tulsa area?
Have you been to all of these?
Check them out!
The Mary K. Oxley Nature Center has some beautiful trails.
It is located in Mohawk park next to the zoo.
They do get very messy if it has been raining a lot and some even disappear all together so it is best to go when it has been dry.
With the abundance of water you get to see a lot of wildlife.
Some I prefer seeing from a distance.
They have lookouts to view birds from and a pretty nice nature center.
The Redbud Valley Nature Preserve is one we have heard of for a long time and been meaning to go to for a LONG time.
It is only about 30 mins. from us but I always chose a longer hike instead.
The longest trail in the preserve is a mile long so it is a little short for our usual family hikes but very nice for someone just starting out or with little ones.
We were laughing at “very,very rugged”, I have not seen that description often.
It was definitely not stroller friendly but I would not be discouraged the by the sign at all it was not that bad.
The boys gave this place two thumbs way up!
They really liked the climbing involved and the fact it was not super long.
We push them a lot…
We went around once going on the cliff trail and the woodland trail.
Then we went around again using the main trail.
The trails intersected a lot so you are doing some of the same hike again but we did not mind.
In total it was around 2 miles of hiking.
Definitely a place you want to check out if you have young kids or want a short hike in a scenic place.
It was a very beautiful hike!
They have very specific hours so be sure to check out their site before you go!
