While the Sooner State may not have an ocean or a towering mountain range, there is one hidden gem tucked away in its borders that will make you do a double take: Little Niagara. Though it can’t quite compare to Niagara Falls in New York or Canada, Little Niagara Falls in Oklahoma is still a delight for outdoor enthusiasts looking for an adventure.
