Nearby [hiking and walking trails][3] meander along streams, past cool rushing waterfalls, and on to mineral and freshwater springs. ## Facilities The group campground is on a loop that surrounds a spacious field for activities like volleyball, football or horseshoes. There are 10 group sites open seasonally, and water spigots are close to the campsites. ## Natural Features The [springs and seeps][4] in Chickasaw originate within a region of Oklahoma characterized by complex [geologic formations. ][5] Intense faulting, folding, uplift and erosion have combined to form a land surface of gently rolling hills dissected by streams. ## Nearby Attractions Try Little Niagara, a favorite freshwater swimming hole. The [Travertine Nature Center][2] is a wonderful resource to view nature exhibits, meet live animals on display, and listen to rangers' presentations. The park's [bison pasture][6] is nearby, so bring the kids and cameras to see the beautiful animals grazing. ## Charges & Cancellations Refunds will not be given due to inclement weather.
