The Ouachita National Forest spans over 1.8 million acres in southeastern Oklahoma and into central Arkansas. It's one of the most beautiful places in Oklahoma and is a must-see destination. You'll encounter stunning mountain views, picturesque scenery and the perfect setting for outdoor activities.

The Ouachita National Forest is located mostly in the Ouachita Mountains of Oklahoma and Arkansas.

The forest houses the Winding Stair Mountain National Recreation Area located in LeFlore County, Oklahoma.

Which is where you'll find the Talimena Scenic Drive - a 50-mile scenic drive that traverses the mountains and offers picturesque views.

An extensive trail system is located in the forest and offers lots of hiking options for those looking to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.

It's a great place to take out-of-towners...to prove Oklahoma is not all flat and boring!
