Hi there! Today we are going to Route 66 country again and pay a visit to one of my favorite places- The Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge.
Nestled in the northwest corner of Oklahoma City lies the tranquil expanse of the 1,000-acre Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge. Surrounded by a verdant hardwood forest adorned with oak and sycamore trees, this sanctuary offers an idyllic escape for nature enthusiasts.
With its myriad trails, waterways, and diverse ecosystem, the refuge beckons visitors to immerse themselves in its serene beauty.
Without further ado, let’s jump into the article!

Hiking
So, they have a couple of hiking trails at the Stinchcomb.
They are both relatively easy. This means if you have dogs or small children with you, then the Stinchcomb is a great starting point to introduce them to this hobby.
The East and Black trails are both less than 6 miles respectively. Even though these are great beginner trails, they both have some drawbacks to them.
In the springtime, it can be extremely muddy, not that is a deal breaker, but just thought I would give you a heads up. Also, in the summertime, it is full of ticks. Again, not a deal breaker, but you should come prepared for them. And this goes for pretty much any hiking trail in the South.
Whether you prefer to explore on foot or by bicycle, there’s a trail suited to your pace and preference. Moreover, these trails offer opportunities for birdwatching, wildlife spotting, and peaceful contemplation amidst nature’s splendors.
