Anyone know of a place where a kid can wade in a stream or river?
Spring creek that feeds Arcadia. The walking trails by Integris on 35 has easy access. I saw quite a few people in the stream last month while riding my bike. My check with city of Edmond parks department or the lake office if they have any sort of classes/learning activities.

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about Spring Creek Trail's clean, wide paths, abundant wildlife, and family-friendly atmosphere. The clear lane markings and accessible terrain make it a top choice for walking and biking. Some wish for more challenging terrain on the main paths, but the off-road options largely compensate.
"Beautiful area to walk and ride your bikes. The wildlife doesn't even seem to care that I am there. There are picnic areas along the lake, and benches throughout the trail for those who want to sit for a bit."
Amy Chase
"Clean, clear, wide paths. Clear markings for foot and bike traffic. Bike repair station, dog waste stations, and benches on path. Marked paths for off path bike trails for a bit more fun through the trees."

"One of the best walking & biking trails, no doubt about it! I love that it’s flat and smooth with proper markings to keep everyone in the proper lanes for safety. There is also off road bike trails as well that you can access straight from this trail just look for the little side paths, we always pass so many other bikers enjoying the mountain bike trails. Very fun and we never have any issues. The mountain bike trails will connect right back onto the main trail which makes it so easy and fun. My kids love going for a ride and taking one of the off road trails. We ALWAYS come across some type of wildlife when on these trails. Deer, turtles, armadillos and bunnies. It’s always so fun to see them enjoying the lush landscapes surrounding this area. If you start at the Fox Lake neighborhood you can go under the highway and all the way to Lake Arcadia. Crumbl cookies is right there in the parking lot near Fox lake neighborhood for a fun after bike snack with kids every once and awhile. 10/10
Highly recommend this trail for everyone."
