Historical/ Geographical Significance
Turner
Falls Park, the oldest park in Oklahoma, has received national
publicity and has served as a classroom for the naturalist. Many
springs from the world famous Arbuckle Mountains form Honey Creek
which cascades down a seventy-seven (77) foot fall to a natural
swimming pool making the majestic Turner Falls the largest waterfall
in Oklahoma. The park is accented with beautiful picnic areas,
nature trails, caves, geological wonders, and two natural swimming
pools very unique in nature.
The Turner Falls area has
been described as one of the three geological
windows into our past, including the Grand
Canyon and the Black Hills of South Dakota.
As early as 1868 Turner
Falls was known as a popular recreational area.
The City of Davis operates the park and you are
welcome to enjoy the
1500 acres
of fun
