Just went on draper lake ride. Rode down from Edmond. Cruised around lake and took back roads back up North to Jones then Arcadia on Rt 66 and back to Edmond. 76 miles round trip. I recommend for a quick trip.

This is an excellent training run for anybody who's not really familiar with good cornering habits, or in avoidance of road hazards. During the week, the road is clear, and all but the north side of the lake has excellent road. The north side of the lake has a section marked 25MPH, and they mean it. If the road were maintained, one could go a bit faster, but the pot-holes are quite large. It's a fun little milk-run, but nothing to write home about either.

Decent ride. I live only 1 mile from here and do this ride often. WATCH OUT FOR BICYCLES! Drive slow and enjoy the mild curves. Some spots are narrow with blind curves and bicycles love to ride in the middle of the road. Looks like they are building a bicycle path around most of the drive, so hopefully it will change soon.

This is a great local ride. Not anything to write home about in terms of view, but sometimes you get on the bike to just get away for a bit. If that's the case, this is the perfect ride for you. This is my "one hour break" ride. From my house, around the lake, and back is almost exactly one hour. Solid 3 star ride.

I do enjoy this ride quite often as it is between work and home. My favorite part is crossing the dam on the south end of the lake. If the wind is from the north, the water drops the air temperature a good ten degrees.

It is very important on this ride to remember you are sharing the road with many bicyclists and the occasional horseback riders. For that reason and the facts that many of the curves are blind and you will almost always pass a police officer or ranger, keep your speed at or below the posted limit and just enjoy the relaxing cruise around the lake.

There are numerous roads marked as Points that you can venture down to see the lake, some of which have great curves themselves. Each point ends with a nice paved cul-de-sac for easy turn around or parking. There are a couple of parks and rest areas as well.

On the north end of the lake, I highly advise that you stick with the map and avoid 89th street. That section of Stanley Draper Road that shares 89th street is in terrible condition at the moment. The portion that is west of Douglas is also currently under construction as they appear to be adding a new bridge. The road there is completely closed... well, actually at the moment it is completely gone.

Took this ride in mid-autumn. The oak trees in this area do not go through a pretty color change . . . they go from green to brown to gone. The lake, itself, is tan in color. Road had a few curves and slight twists, but nothing to write home about.

short but fun. there are lots of curves that are perfect for beginners. there aren’t any stop signs and there are minimal cars and intersections. the road is pretty well kept for the most part.
