Riding America's Mother Road
Oklahoma City sits on the most famous road in America — Route 66. The Route 66 Trail celebrates this heritage with a paved cycling path that follows the historic corridor through OKC, blending Americana history with modern urban riding. It's a unique cycling experience you can only get in Oklahoma.
The Trail Route
The 6-mile point-to-point trail follows the NW 39th Street corridor, connecting northwest Oklahoma City to downtown. Along the way, you'll pass historic landmarks, classic neon signs, and remnants of the golden age of American road travel. The trail is flat, paved, and perfect for casual rides or commuting.
What You'll See
The trail passes near some of OKC's most iconic Route 66 landmarks. Keep an eye out for vintage neon signs, classic motels, and roadside diners that harken back to the 1950s and 60s. The Route 66 Interpretive Center is a must-stop for history buffs.
Connecting to Downtown
The trail's eastern end connects to downtown OKC, where you can continue to Bricktown, Scissortail Park, and the Oklahoma River Trail. It's a great way to combine a historic ride with a modern urban cycling experience.
Why Ride Route 66?
This trail is about more than exercise — it's about experiencing a piece of American history. Oklahoma has more miles of original Route 66 than any other state, and riding it by bike lets you appreciate the landmarks and landscape at a human pace. It's a ride that connects you to the story of America's love affair with the open road.
