| Poteau - Southeast (Kiamichi Country) | |||||||||
Poteau is home to Cavanal Hill, "the world's highest hill" and is a mountain gateway to the Ouachita National Forest and the breathtaking Talimena Scenic Drive. More than 300 motel rooms and 23 restaurants await visitors, along with the Kerr Historical Museum, antique shops, art galleries and the friendliest people around! Recreation opportunities include boating, skiing, lake and stream fishing, in season hunting, backpacking, hiking, horseback riding and 4 x 4 trails. We are located just minutes from Spiro Mounds (Oklahoma's only archeological park), Heavener Runestone (The Vikings were here!), Lake Wister State Park (year round camping, eagle watching, Christmas light display!), Cedar Lake and one of the last existing drive-in movie theaters. We host a 4th of July festival, rodeos, Christmas parade, arts & crafts festivals, and many more events. Come and see us in Poteau America--you'll be glad you did!
