Located near the Arkansas border in the scenic Ozark Highlands of northeast Oklahoma, Natural Falls State Park features a stunning 77-foot waterfall cascading through rock formations creating a hidden, serene atmosphere at the bottom of a narrow V-shaped valley. A railed observation platform allows hikers to overlook the falls and another seated observation deck is located at the foot of the falls. The classic family film, "Where the Red Fern Grows" was filmed on location at the park in 1974. Although swimming is not allowed in the park, there are several public swimming areas within a short distance of the park.
