Waterfall Hikes in Oklahoma (OK)
to explore
Oklahoma's waterfalls are concentrated where the Ozark Plateau in the northeast, the Ouachita and Arbuckle uplifts in the south and southeast, and dissected river valleys meet limestone, sandstone and chert bedrock, creating narrow gorges, rocky ledges and tiered cascades. Hikes tend to be moderate — wooded ravine trails, rocky creekbed scrambles and a few short family-friendly paths — and flows are often seasonal, making the state's dispersed, geologically varied cascades distinctive within the surrounding plains.
