    The Osage Prairie Trail, completed in 2006, spans 14.5 miles between Tulsa and Skiatook, Oklahoma. This multi-use trail is maintained collaboratively by three different entities, ensuring its upkeep and accessibility for users. The City of Tulsa Public Works Department manages the section from N. Greenwood Ave. and E. Independence Pl. to 56th St. North. Following that, the trail falls under the jurisdiction of the Tulsa County Parks & Recreation Department from 56th St. North to the county line, extending for six miles. Finally, the City of Skiatook takes over maintenance from the county boundary to the trail's endpoint in Skiatook.

    The Osage Prairie Trail serves not only recreational purposes but also functions as a vital bicycle commuting route connecting users to significant locations. It links the Oklahoma State University – Tulsa Campus with downtown Tulsa and integrates with smaller trails in the surrounding area. This connectivity supports both cyclists and pedestrians in accessing key destinations, enhancing local mobility.

    Funding for the trail's construction came from the Tulsa County Vision 2025 sales tax, aimed at fostering regional economic development and capital improvements, alongside support from an Oklahoma Trails Grant. The trail is equipped with various features and amenities to enhance user experience. These include bike racks for secure storage, water fountains for hydration, ample parking for easy access, and benches for resting along the way. Overall, the Osage Prairie Trail represents a commitment to promoting outdoor activities and transportation alternatives in the region.
