Hiking
Do you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city after a day of sightseeing in Oklahoma City? Then this eight-kilometer loop is a good way to end the day. The route runs along Lake Overholser on the western outskirts of OKC.
You'll soon see the striking Lake Overholser Bridge in front of you. The structure, made of two different types of steel trusses, spans the North Canadian River. The historic Route 66 runs over the bridge, and it is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Since 1958, the main traffic has flowed on a four-lane road further north.
The hike takes you further along the lake and Overholser Park to the dam, an impressive 21-meter-high structure. The Lake Overholser Dam marks the turning point of the tour. The way back is basically through the lake. To the left and right of the grassy path is the water - a wonderful section to switch off and let your eyes wander. In the distance you can see the steel bridge again in the light of the evening sun.
