The north entry point to Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness — 300 acres of forested trails for running, mountain biking, and hiking just minutes from the Gathering Place. The trails range from flat creekside paths to steep rocky ascents with river views, and the canopy cover keeps things cool even in July. Trail runners use the north trailhead for weekday loops, while weekend hikers tackle the Summit Trail for panoramic views of the Arkansas River and downtown skyline.
