Hiking trails are plentiful in Oklahoma but waterfalls are not, which is why we love to share when we find hidden ones. Tucked away in southern Oklahoma is a Wichita Mountains waterfall only accessible by the Forty Foot Hole Trail – a 1.4-mile loop trail that is open year-round. It’s surrounded by some of the prettiest topography in the state and worthy of a day trip.
