マレー郡周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Bromide Hill Overlook is a beautiful spot with spectacular views from a nearly vertical wooded bluff, rising 140 feet above Rock Creek. The expansive vistas of the city of Sulphur and the surrounding landscape make it an ideal location for capturing some memorable photos.

This trail is a relatively easy path that loops around the west Bison pasture of the park. The trail is a mix of dirt and gravel, with a few rooty sections that lead through woodlands with fantastic views of the surrounding area. Along the way, you'll reach the Bison Pasture Viewpoint, a great spot to stop and take photos of the magnificent bison that inhabit the park. You'll pass the historic Leeper House, built in the 1930s, and the Hillside Spring, known for its strong sulfur smell. Across the street is the Pavilion Spring, once the park's centerpiece and worth a quick stop to see the old pavilion. The final portion of the trail curves west through a lovely shady forest and runs along Rock Creek, where you'll cross a beautiful multi-arch bridge. It is an ideal spot to stop, take in the fresh air, and listen to the sounds of the creek before heading back onto the trail.

Chickasaw National Recreation Area spans over 9,800 acres and is a hidden oasis in Oklahoma. It was established in 1902 as Platt National Park and merged with Arbuckle Recreation Area in 1976, creating a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the features of two parks in one. It continues to be managed by the National Park Service. Nestled in the foothills of the Arbuckle Mountains, this area features the beautiful Lake of the Arbuckles, 30 miles of hiking trails, natural springs and waterfalls. Admission is free, with ample parking, picnic areas, restrooms, and water available at Pavilion Springs and Vendome Well. The natural spring water is renowned for its healing properties; however, it is untreated, so please consume it at your own risk.
