LiDAR & 3D terrainAbout Price Falls
Price Falls is a small, picturesque cascade tucked within the Chickasaw Oklahoma Tribal Statistical Area. The falls drop into a quiet pool and are valued for their tranquil setting — a lovely spot for photographers and hikers looking for a short wilderness escape on tribal lands. The site is on land owned by DESG and is managed by the Chickasaw tribal authorities (designation: TRIB), so please be respectful of local regulations and cultural considerations when visiting. The hike to the falls is an approachable outing for many active hikers and is frequently paired with a stay at nearby campsites. The Point Campground (Chickasaw) sits about 8.82 km from the falls, making Price Falls a convenient day destination for campers. Because the waterfall is located on tribal land, check with the managing tribal office (TRIB) for current access information and any permits or guidelines before you go.

How we calculate this
This is a transparent outlook, not a precise forecast. We take the waterfall's current flow strength (how it ranks against its historical normal for today, from the nearest USGS stream gauge), carry that ranking forward along the gauge's seasonal curve, and nudge it for forecast rain. Confidence is highest for the next day or two and falls further out. Always check official conditions and your own judgment before visiting — high flows can be dangerous.

Weather Forecast
The Terrain, Seen by LiDAR
Aircraft-mounted lasers measured this ground to within inches. Trees and buildings are digitally stripped away, leaving the bare shape of the land the water has carved.
The bare-earth surface loses about 102 feet through the falls, but gradually, the profile of a cascade rather than a plunge. The ground at the falls is roughly 823 feet above sea level.
The ground changes about 66 feet in the 500 feet above the falls and 31 feet in the 500 feet below. The falls face northeast and stay mostly shaded, with soft, even light all day.
