The climbing wasn't necessary, just part of some of our fun. From the parking lot area, we went up the hill towards the trees, away from the lake, and the trails they had there were well marked, but not particularly wide walking paths like Turkey Mountains'. If you are in the mood to feel like you are exploring nature "off the beaten path" while still being on a trail, this is a great place to do it! I will be going again!

No one was in the gate attendant shack when I pulled up but there were easy to follow instructions to self pay. It was only $5 for a day pass which I thought was a great deal! The hike along the nature trail was beautiful. There are many areas where you're able to look out over the lake if you follow the "hiking" trail. I took my doggo with me. I personally didn't think it was a very strenuous hike, but I'm also fairly active. Be careful and watch your footing. I also came across what I would call a "hidden beach". Unless you hike to it or know where to locate it via boat, it's quite private. I thought it was absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to come back once everything greens up and bring a lunch with me to enjoy it for longer. The trail seemed well maintained and there wasn't any trash anywhere which is what I always like to see. I hope to get back to this lake before the end of summer. I'm trying to visit a different Tulsa District Corps lake each weekend this summer! Would highly recommend!!

Our tour guide, Anitta, was great! She was very fun and shared great tid bits of history and info. We went at 4:30 on a Saturday and our ride was perfect - not too packed as compared to other times. I definitely would recommend purchasing a ticket, at minimum, a couple hours or even days prior to going. I could see this being much more popular in warmer months. It was already very popular at the beginning of April on a colder day. Overall, if you are checking out the Bricktown area and want a fun activity to do, check out the water taxi! it's only 30 minutes and you get to see the whole area and then some!

The docks at Cross Timbers are very clean and in great shape. There are electrical and water hook ups at, or just adjacent to, each slip - something the other marina does not offer. All of the staff I have come in contact with (front desk, sales, Lakeside Grill, and maintenance) have all been very professional, courteous, and helpful. Parking could become a problem if we didn't drive a big truck, which it makes it easy for us to get down to the gravel lot, but I have been told by the manager that they are paving the gravel lot in a few months. Another huge bonus is that it is about 10 minutes closer to Tulsa! For the very little difference in cost from the other Skiatook marina there isn't a question on where to dock your boat! I have read the other review for this marina on Yelp and it seems the individual who left the review may have been confused.

My friend slipped and fell, hurt her arm and burned her legs on that bear metal . Those things needed to be replaced long time ago. They did not want to complain about it, because they had problems with management before and nothing was done to fix it. But I say it's not a safe place to go or keep your boat at.
