Greenleaf Lake Trail
16 reviews
4.19 of 5
Singletrack, with some rocky, technical sections; mostly intermediate riding. Out and back loop with 13 or 18 mile options. A beautiful environment to ride in
Take Hiway 62 east of Muskogee, turn south on Hiway 10. Greenleaf State Park is 3 mi E of Braggs and 8 mi W of Gore, on Hiway 10; get a free trail map at the park entrance and proceed to the trailhead parking in the park. In the spring and fall the trail is closed for a week or two for hunting; call the Park before you go. An onsite retired man,
Summary: The FIRST half of this trail was very enjoyable - well maintained singletrack, water crossings, not too steep, and shady. Unfortunately, the second half - AFTER Mary's Cove was still littered with fallen limbs and overgrowth left over from the debris of the '08 ice storm. So, just as we were extended fully from our base, the path became nearly impassable. The unexpected delays caused us to run out of water & food way earlier than expected. We ended up 'bailing out' onto a military road and returned through Camp Gruber as darkness was falling.
We reported the adverse trail conditions to the Park Staff and she texted me that a crew went to work on the trail the following Monday, so it may be fine now. Call first! (I rated this trail VERY technically difficult but after renovations should rate only moderately difficult.)
Recommended Route: First half to Mary's cove was great, but a bit too short by itself. Check with Park staff on the progress of trail renovations.

Summary: This is a rugged intermediate or above trail. Stay on the lower loop closest to the lake both ways. The upper loop isn't ridable. 9 miles out and back. The scenery is worth the effort, just make sure you and your bike are prepared.
Recommended Route: Stay on the lower leg both ways.

Summary: This trail is NOT a mountainbike trail. It is however a good hiking trail. Myself and 3 buddies went to ride this 18 mile hiking trail thinking that it would be fun. There is so many rocks and overgrown weeds that you will find yourself never getting out of granny gear. When people say that there is epic hike a bike, they mean it. If you enjoy mountainbike do not waist your time with this one. You will regret it. However, if you like to push your bike around in the weeds this will be a great adventure.
Recommended Route: Turn around and go home, this trail is not a mountbike trail.
Summary: I've ridden this trail about 10 times now and I consider it the best I've ridden. It is an adventure that is unlike any other trail in OK; you actually feel like your away from the rat race and it is definitely an epic undertaking. I've ridden it both counter and clockwise and I recommend counterclockwise. (Less pushing for me.) Most will wonder why an 18 mile trail takes 4-6 hours to ride but those that have ridden it know; it's 18 miles of technical trails with very little letup. Lots of ups and downs and some killer descents follow the epic hike-a-bikes. As of now I recommend you taking plenty of food and water and spirit 'cause it'll humble you. There are lots of downed trees from the early '07 ice storm and they ruin most of the fun downhill sections. There's sections where you'll dismount every 200 yards or so. Didn't ride the unimproved north loop this year and probably won't again until someone tells me that it's cleaned up; last time I rode it (2005) it was one tough hombre.
Riding season should only go from late October until mid-April due to bugs and trailside growth. But during the riding times I recommend it highly to anyone who wants to feel like they accomplished something after completion.
Recommended Route: Counter clockwise

Summary: Greenleaf has two loops, north(primitive), and south. The south loop is pretty well ridable by everyone, but will be tiring for newer riders. The north loop is much more difficult, with lots of hike a bike. Myself, a friend , and my 11 year old son, all singlespeeding, did both loops, taking a little over 8 hours. At a total of about 18 miles, this is a tough trail. Allow plenty of time, carry a lot of water, energy bars, and tubes and patches. While the trail is well marked, the north loop is much less traveled, and the path is not always clear, especially with the leaves down in fall.
Recommended Route: Do the whole thing, starting out by the parking lot.
Other recommended trails in the same area: lake mcmurtry, turkey mtn., keystone.
