“I just want to see people getting out here enjoying themselves. Kicking off 2025 with a healthy lifestyle,” said Matt Whitney with the National Park Service.
If you too have some fitness goals this year, there are miles of new trails in the metro including the “Greenway River Trail” which runs along the Oklahoma River to Northeast 4th street.
The 4-mile multi-use trail connects the North Oklahoma River Trail to the Katy Trail, which parallels the old Katy Railway Line.
Organizers of scissortail walk said the metro is becoming attractive to walkers and biers with the interconneceted trail system.
“We hope that people get out to any trail in Oklahoma, whether it be a Chickasaw National Recreation Area or historic trail around Washington Battlefield, our sister site, or even different trails around city parks. State parks. Just go out there. Enjoy your nature,” said Whitney.
