Deer Crossing Trail in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, is a popular hiking destination known for its unique natural features. The trail spans approximately 3.91 miles, offering a moderate level of difficulty suitable for most hikers. The path winds through a dense forest of pine and hardwood trees, providing ample shade for hikers during the warmer months.

The river's clear waters can be seen from various points along the trail, and there are several spots where hikers can access the riverbank. The trail also boasts a variety of rock formations, adding an element of rugged beauty to the landscape. Hikers should be prepared for a few steep inclines and rocky sections along the trail. It's recommended to wear sturdy footwear and bring plenty of water. The trail is well-marked, but a map or GPS can be helpful for first-time visitors. Despite its challenges, Deer Crossing Trail offers a rewarding hike with diverse scenery and ample opportunities for wildlife viewing.

Drive the Talimena Scenic Byway

The Talimena Scenic Byway is one of the highlights of the Ouachita National Forest. Running 54 miles along the crest of the Rich and Winding Stair Mountains, the drive is surprisingly easy and never boring. The whole drive is worth taking, but the Arkansas portion arguably has the most scenic portion(and much less arguably the smoothest roads).There are 17 vistas along the route and almost all ...

Lovers' Leap Trail

At 2.1 miles you will reach the east/west ...
