Regional Advantages in Oklahoma

Oklahoma boasts more shoreline than the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts combined. With 1 million surface acres of rivers and lakes statewide, pristine water destinations–and lush surrounding vegetation–abound.

From the verdant Ouachitas in the east to the arid Black Mesa in the west, Oklahoma’s cliffs, peaks and mountain ranges provide countless striking geological destinations, all within a day’s drive of Oklahoma City.

Interspersed across the state are sweeping, cinematic grasslands where vistas of land and sky stretch on for miles. Two hours northeast of OKC, the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve is one of the last remaining prairies in the country.

Towns like Guthrie and Pawhuska are rich in Americana and old charm. Historic main streets transport visitors to another time, while a rich connection to the land means miles of untouched countryside are never far away.

Oklahoma’s most prominent cities – Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Norman – are cultural epicenters where modern and historic aesthetics meet. Skyscrapers soar, city life booms, and there’s a fresh perspective at every turn.

Oklahoma is home to a rich, offbeat architectural and cultural history. OKC alone holds seven historic districts and a wealth of Mid-Century architecture, Tulsa is famed for Art Deco style, and landmarks like the Golden Driller and Oklahoma City National Memorial stand tribute to our past.
