Places That Don’t Look Like They’re In Oklahoma

When people think of Oklahoma, they picture flat, rolling land that stretches for miles. Trees are a treasure and dirt clings to everything: boots, jeans, hair. And would it really be Oklahoma if there weren't cattle, horses or llamas roaming a pasture or two between towns?

Take a look at some of the places below aren't quintessential Oklahoma but still exist in the Sooner State.

Red Rock Canyon Adventure Park - Hinton, Oklahoma

Who said Oklahoma was flat? Well, not at the Red Rock Canyon. The 150 feet deep and the canyon walls stretching up to 60 feet high, you can have a closely-related Las Vegas experience in central Oklahoma.

Chickasaw Country - Southern Oklahoma

Stretching from Duncan, Oklahoma, to the edge of the Tishomingo Wildlife Refuge, you'll find mountains to hike and waterfalls, like Turner Falls to explore. You'll find Paul's Valley, Lake Murray, Lake Texoma and many, many more sights to see.

Broken Bow Lake - Broken Bow, Oklahoma

In the vast areas of Oklahoma without trees, Broken Bow, Oklahoma, makes up for it and more with a blend of dogwood, hardwood and pine trees stretching around the lake and throughout beautiful Beavers Bend.
