Description
Bartlesville Trails are at Hudson Lake, Bartlesville's water supply lake, which is 5 miles northwest of Bartlesville. This Lake Hudson is not to be confused with the Lake Hudson near Salina, Oklahoma.The trail system has an East and West side. On the East side, you start down a dirt road for 1/10 of a mile, then you have the option of continuing on the dirt road, or taking a rocky, intermediate trail down to a small creek and the dirt road. From there, it is a series of 2 loop trails that are are mostly smooth and flat, and skirt the shoreline. From there, it is a series of long out and back trails, which turn rocky and technical on the hill sides. At the end there is a short loop. This is the furthest point on the East side. If you ride out and back to your car, you will have around 10 miles on the East side. You can also ride the Dirt Road north up to the end gate, for a long climb and a view at top.On the West side, you can take The Easy Way trail north along the lake for an easy ride, or the Eagle Trail for a more rocky, technical ride. Both meet about half way up the lake. Past there, it has a rocky, steep section. The hills in this area all tend to get steeper towards the top, so save something. At the top, the Easy Way is an old dirt road that ends at an old oil well.The long term plan is to extend both sides north and upstream and cross the lake to get all the way around the lake. It is a growing trail system. See Facebook.com/BartlesvilleTrails for any details.Stay away from any oil wells, and do not go around or through any gates or cross any fences.

Description
The Enid trail system, also known as the “5-Eighty Trails” is comprised of two sections.
The main portion is a five-mile loop that winds through rolling, grassy terrain. The handful of wooden features are fun and beginner friendly. All constructed jumps and drops include smooth bypass options.
An additional 3-mile route called No Man’s Land. As you might expect from the name, No Man’s Land features serious challenges: long or steep wooden features, quick turns, and aggressive climbs to test both your fitness and your nerves.

Description
This ride features some technical rocky sections, along with some good, fast, flowing sections. This is not a beginner trail, but there are some bypasses for less-experienced riders in the more difficult areas. There are currently 5 complete sections connected by short double tracks. We will begin the next sections this fall.
The ride starts on Muskrat Maze where there is a great maze-like section in the beginning winding around huge boulders. There are tight turns around the boulders and over rocky areas as you go. It's only .4 miles, but it's a workout because it is mostly a slightly uphill grade, so you don't get to do any easy coasting.
After riding the doubletrack out of Muskrat Maze, head to Lizard Lane/ Bobcat Beat along the doubletrack connector. If you want to bypass the more difficult "Lizard Lane" you can walk or ride your bike straight up the hill to the easier "Bobcat" portion, otherwise follow the arrow pointing to "Lizard Lane." This trail begins intensely over good rock garden singletrack, eventually making a switchback over a long slab rock that resembles the moon. You'd better be ready to pump your pedals! You'll ride about the same distance over more rock garden singletrack. This is an advanced intermediate section for sure.
You'll then end up doing a short rocky climb to the top of the hill to "Bobcat Beat." The is about 1 mile long and wind through the cedars with a few surprises along the way, like a rock bridge and a massive berm built with man-made materials. You'll probably want to make a few passes on this roller coaster feature. The trail ends back at the doubletrack and is just a few feet from the beginning of Scorpion Strut. Scorpion Strut is a very fun, fast, technical trail. It begins with a short uphill over a big slab rock and then a quick left turn into a short technical down/up. The trail winds through a wooded area over lots of rocks (we've seen a couple of scorpions under some of the rocks). The trail switches back and forth a couple of times, out of the woods and then diving back into them. At the north end of this section, cross the road and hit Road Runner. Road Runner is where the boulder section is, and it's advanced technical, but fun! When you exit the boulder portion of this section, you can turn left on the doubletrack and ride a very short distance to Black Snake Boogie. Black Snake Boogie is FUN, fast, with a mini boulder area, a couple of short climbs, and some neat features. When you exit this, go back north, and just past where you exited the boulders, you can hit the top line of road runner going south. At the end of Road Runner, cross the road again and finish the last part of Scorpion Strut, and be ready for a couple foot drop onto a short downhill run.
The exit is close to where the trail starts. Take the gravel road back toward Muskrat Maze and finish the last part of it, back to the parking lot. Now, do another lap! What is complete is a blast to ride and will keep you coming back for more!
