Oklahoma is known for its diverse terrain, and one of the most unusual ones you'll find is in the Four Canyon Preserve in western Oklahoma. It's known for its deep wooded canyons, mixed-grass prairies, and natural floodplains. It's open by appointment only on select dates and it's the perfect place to go for a tranquil day trip in the Sooner State.
Four Canyon Preserve encompasses over 4,000 acres of beautiful rolling hills, rugged canyons, prairies, rare birds and plants, and picturesque scenery.
It has one of the most amazing landscapes in the country and you must see it in person to experience its true beauty.
Because the area is protected by the Oklahoma Nature Conservancy, access to the public is limited to field trip days by appointment only.
As you explore the area, you'll encounter beautiful landscapes full of rare plants and flowers.
These prairies also provide a habitat for a variety of rare grassland birds, like Swainson's Hawk, along with additional species of reptiles like the Texas horned lizard.
The area is named for its four unique canyons: Cinnamon Canyon, Horse Canyon, Mulberry Canyon, and Harsha Canyon.
If you're not able to make the trip to Four Canyon Preserve, they do offer an online virtual tour. Please click here for more information.
Oklahoma isn’t lacking gorgeous places to explore the outdoors. However, Red Rock Canyon State Park offers a special beauty that can be enjoyed by the whole family. This gorgeous state park is situated 1 mile south of Hinton in Caddo County. The region was once a winter campsite for Plains native people and is the only remaining site of native Caddo maple trees.
