Turner Falls

Turner Falls is the most significant waterfall in Oklahoma and is said to be the tallest waterfall in the state - though sharing that distinction with lower volume Dripping Springs Falls. Turner Falls consists of two distinct drops, about 20 and 50 feet respectively, which terminate in a large cerulean pool which has been enhanced by a small dam with a walkway to promote swimming.Named for Mazeppa Thomas Turner, a Scottish immigrant farmer who married Laura Johnson, a Chickasaw woman. They settled in the area in 1878 and discovered the falls.
