One such river is The Mountain Fork River – hailed as one of the purest rivers in the state – that is popular for fishing. It’s lined with hundred-year-old cypress trees, beautiful scenery and lots of wildlife. Some people actually call The Mountain Fork River a little slice of paradise.

The Mountain Fork River is 98 miles long and flows through parts of the Ouachita Mountains in southeastern Oklahoma.
