Natural Features
Two ecosystems converge in Chickasaw National Recreation Area: the eastern deciduous forest and the mixed-grass prairie of the west. This creates a unique landscape called the Crosstimbers, which attracts a wide variety of plant and animal life.
Nearby Attractions

Swimming opportunities abound, with streams and springs dotting the park landscape. Nearby hiking and walking trails weave along these streams--passing through cool rushing waterfalls--and leading to mineral water and freshwater springs.
