Pathfinder Parkway is a 12-mile walking, jogging and biking trail that traverses Bartlesville, OK. This 12 mile paved pathway, for walking, jogging and biking, runs mostly along the Caney River and Turkey Creek, connecting Johnstone Park, Robinwood Park, Jo Allyn Lowe Park, Sooner Park, , Bartlesville High School, the Wesleyan Church, and Eastland Shopping Center, at the corner of Hwy 75 and Frank Phillips Blvd. Joel Smith originally planned for Pathfinder to run along both sides of the Caney River and to connect to Circle Mountain, and while currently only 12 miles have been built, work continues with the recently opened connection from Jo Allyn Lowe Park to the Colonial Estates Addition.
