Quick ride by bicycle from Tulsa to Jenks

Pedal your way from the heart of Tulsa down to charming Jenks on this easygoing 19 km ride! Starting at downtown Tulsa—a vibrant city on the banks of the Arkansas River, famous for its Art Deco architecture and lively arts scene—you’ll cruise south, mostly on smooth cycleways and paved paths. It’s an easy ride, with gentle elevation changes: just enough to warm you up, but nothing too strenuous.

The route is pretty safe, sticking to bike-friendly paths around 80% of the way, so you can focus on enjoying the sights. Along the way, you’ll catch river views and maybe spot some local wildlife as you approach Jenks, affectionately known as the “Antique Capital of Oklahoma.” Once you roll into Jenks, treat yourself to a stroll through Main Street or visit the Oklahoma Aquarium. Great ride for an afternoon escape or a scenic start to the weekend!
