Oklahoma's largest waterfall, a 77-foot drop into a natural swimming pool inside a privately run park in the Arbuckle Mountains.

Turner Falls drops about 77 feet into a natural pool on Honey Creek, fed by springs discharging from the Arbuckle-Simpson aquifer in the Arbuckle Mountains near Davis. It's considered Oklahoma's largest waterfall and has drawn visitors for generations, with swimming beneath the falls a long-standing summer tradition when the pool is open for the season.

The park is privately operated rather than a state or federal site, with its own gates, hours, and rules: photo ID is required for entry, pets aren't allowed, and children 12 and under must wear a Coast Guard-certified flotation device in the water. Swimming is closed for the winter, and the park is closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Check current admission rates and hours before visiting.
