Featured Attractions
Turner Falls Turner Falls is a 77-foot waterfall that ends in a beautiful, but cold, swimming area. The swimming area has a rocky bottom, so you might want to consider wearing water shoes. Also, don't forget that kids under must wear Coast Guard approved life jackets.
Collings Castle Constructed in the early 1930s using natural stone, Collings Castle is an excellent example of English architecture. You can wander through its many levels to your heart's content. You don't have to schedule a tour. Just walk in, and start exploring.
Natural Caves Turner Falls Park contains three natural caves, all above the falls. Note hat the caves can be hard to spot, and the hike might be considered difficult by some.
Trout Fishing The streams around Turner Falls are stocked with trout from November until the middle of March, and fishing is allowed during this time period. For just $15 (which includes park admission), you can fish all day and keep up to five fish. Note that a valid Oklahoma Fishing License is required.
