Location Details

One of northeastern Oklahoma’s unique recreational treasures, the Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness encompasses over 300 acres of rugged park land located only a few miles from Tulsa’s vibrant downtown. Participants will be surrounded by a thick canopy of trees including native:

• Post Oak: A common species in the area.
• Blackjack Oak: Another native tree.
• Hickory: Adding to the diversity of the forest.
• Redbud: Known for its beautiful blooms.

This area of River Parks stretches north-south from I-44 to 71st Street, and from Elwood Avenue, east to the Arkansas River. The highest point on Turkey Mountain lies within the park’s boundaries, rising 300 feet above the river.
