Recreation and
Places of Interest
The
rugged mountains with their swift-flowing streams,
the numerous large lakes and reservoirs, and
the historic sites of Native American and pioneer
days attract many visitors to Oklahoma. The most
popular recreation areas in the state are the
lakes and streams. The generally mild climate
makes fishing a year-round sport on Oklahoma’s
lakes, which are well-stocked with bass, trout,
and catfish.
Tourism has become an important economic activity
in Oklahoma. Since the 1950s, many parks have
been developed in the areas around Oklahoma’s
lakes and reservoirs... |
