What the Greenleaf Trail is known for

An 18-mile loop through Greenleaf State Park and the surrounding Braggs Mountain area in eastern Oklahoma's Muskogee County. The trail circles Greenleaf Lake on rugged terrain with several creek crossings, a suspension swinging bridge over Greenleaf Creek, and views of the lake from the wooded ridges above. A mix of hardwood forest and creek bottom, it is the longest trail in the Oklahoma state park system. Primitive campsites are available at the park; the loop can be done in one long day or split into two days.
