Wake Up Oklahoma

I also want to go see Turner Falls because it has the biggest waterfall in OK

All I need is to find someone with Sundays off and wants to go exploring
It'll help if I can find them in OKC

There's a whole lot of beautiful in OK

You use to be able to swim under the fall but they took that away. I grew up going there every chance I had.

I saw the mention of Eufaula as a possible place, I'm not a huge fan of the place but if it will help more people be able to make it then I'm game.

I'm good with anywhere except it would be much nicer to be able to car pool with another if travel takes a couple hours.

It would be nice if we could come up with a place that's about 60-90 minutes of driving time for any of us. I want to have time to hang out and get to know others and still be able to fish a little if possible. Since I'm not native to OK and don't really know my way around well or what lakes and rivers could work for us as a group, I'll have to just kick back and let those that know decide what's best for us.

I'll keep looking. I've been looking for exactly that. There is seemingly nothing but turnpike between these two cities!

Coming in from AR, I have a drive anyway, so it doesn't really matter to me, as long as it's not a lot further west from OKC.

I will leave the deciding to you guys, since I really don't know much about OK. (being a NE Cornhusker fan, I usually just stayed away from your state! LOL)

APG, ducking!

I have a 4 door pick up (snall back seat) and can pick someone up for car pooling. The mall in Shawnee is a great place to park. Its easy to find and get on and off of the highway.

OK, there is a place called Sportsman Lake Recreation Area just outside of Seminole. This would be about an hour and a half from OKC and 2 hours from Tulsa.

Check out the website, and let me know what you think. They have a pavilion with water and electric, and plenty of fishing spots around the lake. I thought of this place because I've been to a retreat nearby at St. Crispins, which was beautiful, but I have never been to the lake.

If you're willing to drive 2 hours from Tulsa, you might already come to OKC and Lake Overholser.
Should we get out of towners that want to come and spend a weekend, there is a Motel 6 nearby that is not to old and has a swimming pool, decently priced. It may be an easier way to draw others to OK this way.

True, I have someone to stay with in the City at least!

You can't swim under the falls anymore??? that's no fun! I used to love that place as a kid.
