Green Country is Oklahoma’s Northeast region where the city meets the prairie. This region also has the largest concentration of Route 66 history. It’s the perfect combination of city exploration and outdoor adventure.
Choctaw Country
Choctaw Country is Oklahoma’s outdoor paradise. The Southeast region is best known for Broken Bow and the Talimena Scenic Drive, but there’s so much more. Here, you’ll find endless outdoor activities combined with some of the state’s more unique history like Viking settlements and “Circus City.”
Chickasaw Country features Turners Falls, Lake Murray, and the Arbuckle Mountains. At Chickasaw National Recreation Area, natural springs, swimming holes and hiking trails draw outdoorsy travelers year round. The South Central region delivers the outdoor adventure and natural beauty that defines Oklahoma.
Great Plains Country
Great Plains Country shows off the state’s wild side. Granite peaks and free-roaming buffalo define the landscape at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Hike Mount Scott, explore cobblestone streets, or watch spectacular sunsets. The Southwest region is Oklahoma’s wild and authentic West.
Red Carpet Country
Red Carpet Country stretches across Oklahoma’s Northwest corner where history and adventure meet wide open skies. Little Sahara’s sand dunes draw off-road enthusiasts while others dig for crystals in the Salt Plains. This is the region for travelers seeking uncrowded destinations and experiences off the beaten path.
