The springs and seeps in Chickasaw originate within a region of Oklahoma characterized by complex geologic formations. Intense faulting, folding, uplift and erosion have combined to form a land surface of gently rolling hills dissected by streams.
Try Little Niagara, a favorite freshwater swimming hole.
The Travertine Nature Center is a wonderful resource to view nature exhibits, meet live animals on display, and listen to rangers' presentations.
The park's bison pasture is nearby, so bring the kids and cameras to see the beautiful animals grazing.
Swimming and hiking are among the favorite activities at the campsite. A short walk takes you to Panther Falls, a refreshing swimming area.
Nearby hiking and walking trails meander along streams, past cool rushing waterfalls, and on to mineral and freshwater springs.
