Turner Falls, Fall Foliage Photo Excursion 2011

This will be our 6th annual Photo Excursion to the beautiful Arbuckle Mountains of southern Oklahoma.

During my previous visits I found plenty of great fall color to shoot (see image to the left). We will spend a good deal of this trip in Turner Falls Park.

"Turner Falls Park, the oldest park in Oklahoma, has received national publicity and has served as a classroom for the naturalist. Many springs from the world famous Arbuckle Mountains form Honey Creek which cascades down a seventy-seven (77) foot fall to a natural swimming pool making the majestic Turner Falls the largest waterfall in Oklahoma. The park is accented with beautiful picnic areas, nature trails, caves, geological wonders, and two natural swimming pools very unique in nature.
The Turner Falls area has been described as one of the three geological windows into our past, including the Grand Canyon and the Black Hills of South Dakota.

As early as 1868 Turner Falls was known as a popular recreational area. The City of Davis operates the park and you are welcome to enjoy the 1500 acres of fun .in the "Heart of the Arbuckles". "
