Review:
Conveniently located in south-central Oklahoma, between Oklahoma City and Dallas Texas, the Chickasaw National Recreation Area was originally known as Sulphur Springs Reservation, for the numerous naturally occurring springs found in the area. Today the recreation area offers visitors a chance to explore the region’s unique flora and fauna on foot or by bike along a network of hiking and biking trails. There are various natural swimming holes and you can go boating and fishing on the Lake of the Arbuckles. Indoor activities include visiting the Chickasaw Nation Visitor’s Center and the Travertine Nature Center where you can get a good overview of the area by watching the seven-minute film “By the Rippling Waters”.
