Oklahoma Motorcycle Roads and TripsMotorcycle rides in Oklahoma's (OK) will feature scenery dominated by flat to rolling hills of various forms of prairie grasslands as three quarters of the state is blanketed by prairie grasses (one quarter of the state is considered forested). Riders will see elevations that vary from the state's low point in its southeast corner (at only 800 feet above sea level) and rise as you move west into the panhandle where the highest peak resides - Black Mesa at 5,000 feet above sea level. The state has four primary mountain ranges: the Ouachita Mountains, the Arbuckle Mountains, the Wichita Mountains, and the Ozark Mountains. And, the state is home to the most number of manmade lakes in the US at 200. Okmulgee Lake Tour (Jun 10)
… lake is very pretty there is a very nice over-flow dam that is amazing. most the road has trees next too or limbs hanging out so lots of shade to cool off in ... very good pavement there is some dirt and gravel patches from trucks, not many potholes.
