The mile-long Bricktown Canal links downtown, Bricktown and the Oklahoma River.

The north segment extends east from the Santa Fe railroad, past restaurants and entertainment venues to Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.

As the canal turns south toward the river, it is highlighted by hiking and bicycle trails, water features and landscaped park areas. The Bricktown Water Taxi offers rides down the canal. Various public and private development projects are in progress along its banks.

The Canal is maintained by the Parks & Recreation Department.
