When in Chickasaw Country, that gurgling you hear is water, lots and lots of cool, tumbling water crisscrossing the area with a splash-filled promise.

There are a number of small towns and villages as well as two state parks. Lake Murray State Park is Oklahoma’s first and largest state park consisting of 12,500 acres of forested, rolling hills around beautiful Lake Murray. The park’s diverse terrain, exceptional trails and historic sites make Lake Murray State Park a favorite destination among outdoor, water sport and ATV riding enthusiasts. Lake Texoma is Oklahoma’s second-largest lake and one of the premier striped bass hot spots in the southwest. Besides fishing and a myriad of watersports, Lake Texoma State Park offers swimming, camping, picnic areas, wildlife viewing opportunities and hiking.

Sparkling lakes, glorious mountains, cypress-lined bayous and picturesque towns make Choctaw Country the ideal spot for outdoor getaways. Abundant wilderness areas with pristine lakes, rivers and streams connect you to nature in a profound way. With nine state parks and close to a million acres of wildlife, it’s little wonder the area is a destination for all kinds of eco-explorers, fishing, hunting and some of the most spectacular fall foliage tours in the Midwest.
