Carlton Landing is Oklahoma’s most picturesque little town that is anything but ordinary. Situated on the rolling hills overlooking Lake Eufaula, Carlton Landing is a New Urbanist town where you might feel more like you’re in Seaside, Florida than in Eufaula, Oklahoma. Southern Living called this charming eco-friendly town a “storybook town” once upon a time, and we couldn’t agree more.

What are the cutest small towns in Oklahoma? 

Oklahoma is a magical place for those who love small towns and small-town charm. You can throw a rock in any direction and probably find some that way, but we’ve done the footwork for you right here. Though it’s hard to decide just which town is the “cutest”, there are lots that make worthy contenders. Some of our favorites include the adorable Guthrie, which has a quaint, old-style downtown and not one but two nearby lakes, and Medicine Park is a stunning small town in the Wichitas and thusly one of Oklahoma’s only actual mountain towns. Woodward is beautiful, too, with stunning wind farms and tons of intriguing native history. For a more complete list of our favorite small towns in Oklahoma, check this previous article out!
