The Arbuckle Mountains are an ancient range that features rolling hills, waterfalls, creeks, lakes, caves, hiking trails and stunning beauty.
One of the most notable is Turner Falls Park - home to the largest waterfall in the state. At 77 ft. tall, the gorgeous water cascades over the rocks and into a pool below.
Chickasaw National Recreation Area is also located in the mountain range just a few miles away from Turner Falls Park and is known as the "oasis in the prairie." The spring fed waters that flow throughout are absolutely stunning.
