What is your favorite river to fish, camp, raft, or whatever on? Mine is Illinois river. It's actually the only river I've been to except the Arkansas River.

I guess the Cimarron River since it's the only river I remember growing up as a kid and always liked looking at it, while crossing the bridge over it on the way to grandma's house. Here it's pictured looking from the Dunkin Bridge, located between Stillwater and Cushing, as dust blows across it. I always wondered if it really has dangerous quick sand. The current two lane bridge replaced the old creaky one lane wooden bridge washed away during the great flood of 1986.

The Mountain Fork River in SE Oklahoma. Stay at Rivers Edge Cottages (http://www.riversedgecottages.com/) while you are there. You're welcome in advance.

Have to agree on Mountain Fork. But the Glover is nice, too. Heck, there are so many beautiful rivers in Eastern and Southeastern Oklahoma.

Going with the same as urbanized and guru. The mountain fork is my favorite along with the glover and kiamichi.

Here's another view of the Mountain Fork through the window of a cabin I've stayed in, called Windsong (http://www.riversedgecottages.com/50/Windsong.html):

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the cabin is on the side of a sheer drop and the river is at least a hundred feet below (vertically).

My guess would be that John Denver, unlike Hoyt Axton, visited West Virginia (and then crashed his experimental aircraft into the ocean) before being to/in Oklahoma.
Great pic. Thanks for the memory.

It helps me to appreciate the value of the balance between Urban and Rural.

(no kidding, and all amateur poetry aside: I thought Grand Lake/NE OK was about as good as it got.
I was told the vicinity of that capture, in the photo above, was better. I was more than happy to be corrected.)

(personally . . . a tent or a station wagon? with a canoe/kayak/or inflatable raft, actually on the river, would be OK too. =)

Just in case none of the verbiage, above, is clear:
You Nailed It. Mountain Fork. For Sure.

(the St. Croix, up north, is sort of scenic as well . . . different topic, different day)
