The Bert Cooper Trails, formerly Lake Hefner Trail, is a fantastic paved route surrounding the lake's perimeter. There are plenty of access points along the path, including parking areas, restrooms, and water, if you need to take a break. Along the way, you will see lots of sailboats in the water, adding to the already stunning lake views, especially if you are lucky to be here to see the sunset.

Lake Hefner is beautiful and one of the area's most popular sailing destinations. As a reservoir source of drinking water for the city, swimming is not allowed here. However, there are plenty of beautiful sailboats to admire, combined with two parks, picnic areas, several East Wharf restaurants and a beautiful lighthouse, making it a spectacular location for a bike ride.

Very easy and chill ride. Weekday mornings yield less foot traffic. Throw some ear buds in and enjoy the ride.

This 23.0 kilometer loop trail connects Oklahoma City to its western suburbs. It allows you to easily get out of the city via a cycle path that runs along the river as well as the lakes. It is used by cyclists but also by runners so be careful while riding. The very good asphalt of which it is made and the numerous parks along its route make it pleasant.

Built in 1999, the 36 foot tall lighthouse is an icon in the Oklahoma City area. It was modeled after the Brant Point Light Station on the north side of Nantucket Island in Massachusetts. A 75 foot long jetty takes you out to the lighthouse and views out over Lake Hefner.
