Turner Falls Park

Turner Falls Park is a 1500-acre City of Davis Park surrounding the 77-foot waterfall, Oklahoma's largest waterfall.  The waterfall is named for Mazeppa Thomas Turner, who settled in Murray County along Honey Creek in 1878 and discovered the waterfall.  The City of Davis took ownership of the waterfall and surrounding recreation area in the early 20th century and it has since grown to its present size.  Today, the park features hiking, swimming, camping and cabins in the Arbuckle Mountains.
