McCurtain County

County Seat: Idabel · ≈ 230 mi · 3 hr 45 min

Drive far enough southeast and Oklahoma stops looking like Oklahoma. McCurtain County is pine forest and clear water in the foothills of the Ouachitas, built around Broken Bow Lake, the Mountain Fork River, and Beavers Bend, the closest thing the plains have to the Smokies.
