## About

Combining scenic winter nature with iconic Mother Road history, an excursion to Arcadia Lake and the historic Route 66 Round Barn offers an unforgettable family day trip just east of Edmond. Families begin at Arcadia Lake along the paved Spring Creek Trail, a 3.1-mile multi-use concrete pathway that winds through hardwood trees and provides panoramic views across the tranquil winter lake. After a refreshing lakeside walk spotting woodpeckers and waterfowl, families head down Route 66 to the legendary two-story Round Barn, built in 1898. Inside, children explore vintage farm tools and Route 66 memorabilia on the ground floor, then climb upstairs to marvel at the magnificent domed wooden ceiling and test its famous architectural echo by whispering across the hall.

• Stroller Accessibility: Spring Creek Trail is completely paved with smooth concrete, accommodating strollers and wagons; the Round Barn ground floor is accessible, with stairs leading to the upper loft.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Heated visitor restrooms with changing tables available at the Round Barn museum; lake trailheads provide sheltered picnic pavilions and benches.
• Age Suitability: Perfect for all ages; kids love the novelty of the circular barn and wide lake walking paths.
• Sensory Tips: Spring Creek Trail offers quiet lakeside solitude; inside the Round Barn loft, children are captivated by the unique acoustic resonance and warm wooden tones.
