LAKE TEXOMA HISTORY & CULTURE – Texas Side

President Eisenhower’s Birthplace (TX) - https://thc.texas.gov/historic-sites/eisenhower-birthplace - We love this park because it is a quintessential 1950’s state park. The land was purchased by the Army for the Dennison Dam project (Lake Texoma). There is a playground, camping and trails. Joe will occasionally take his youngest son to this park just to enjoy the early morning. The park shows as having an OHV that allows dirt bike and ATV driving with a permit. We have not used the OHV trails.

LAKE TEXOMA DAY TRIPS – Oklahoma Side

Day Trip: Turner Falls & Pies.  Turner falls is a water fall in Davis Oklahoma. It’s located about 1 hour 30 minutes from our properties. Joe has taken his kids there many times; the property is pretty and has a neat history. https://www.turnerfallspark.com/parkadmission. Call Turner Falls to make sure they are open.  On the way home, there is a little shop that makes Pies. They are single serving pies you get right from the kitchen. https://www.arbucklemountainfriedpies.com/menu

Day Trip: Tishomingo. “Tish” as some folks call it located about 1 hour north of Pottsboro, and 45 minutes from Kingston. This is “small town USA.” It’s recently famous for having a restaurant and bar that Blake Shelton owns. We like it as a simple day trip. They have a little park that has a water feature that younger kids can enjoy.  Learn more about the city at https://www.travelok.com/Tishomingo
