Turner Falls in Davis, Oklahoma

Dwayne had expressed an interest in visiting Turner Falls near Ardmore, and since today was predicted to be a nice day, we decided to drive up there.

Heading north from the campground - this is looking toward the bridge that would cross Lake Texoma.

After we got onto I-35, there was a sign for a "Scenic Turnout".... uhm... scenic? This was looking west....

And this was looking east... I guess if windmills and communication towers are considered scenic?

We made our way onwards and arrived at Turner Falls.

Turner Falls is a 77' waterfall on the Honey Creek.

It was really quite beautiful.

Many of the areas were marked for swimming (like this pool right in front of the falls) - I'm sure on summer days, you would not get a picture with no people in it!

Looking downstream below the falls.

A picture from the other bank. That round white thing under the falls/cave is a sign saying not to climb on the rock.

Beautiful

Right near the top, there was a plant that appeared to have a red bloom sticking straight off the rocks.

It was rather warm by this point in the day - we wished we had our swim gear!

We hiked up past a "castle" that had been built by a rancher in the area.

Then we drove further into the park. We saw the RV sites ($25/night + the daily entry fee for each person). This was Honey Creek above the falls.

Another view of Honey Creek.

This is close to the top of the falls.

Just beyond Dwayne, you might see a couple of very small people - they are in the pool at the base of the falls.

A final picture from the overlook at the curio shop / zipline outside the park on route 77. Dwayne remembers getting cherry cider at the curio shop many many years ago (55 or so).
