Pryor - Northeast (Green Country) | ||||||||
Pryor was established by the great-grandnephew of Pocahontas, a scout with the Lewis and Clark expedition. It was named after the Indian word "coo-y-yah," meaning huckleberries. The city has a population of approximately 8,700. Located in Mayes County, Pryor sits in the heart of Green Country, surrounded by lakes and tourist attractions. It is less than 50 miles from more than 2,500 miles of lakeshore and just 10 minutes from Lake Hudson, one of the top three bass fishing lakes in Oklahoma. In the heart of town is Whitaker Park, a 24-acre complex of tennis courts, swimming pool, walking trail, sand volleyball and basketball courts, fishing pond, numerous playground areas and picnic pavilions. The city's baseball and softball complex offers 12 fields and is considered to be one of the best in northeast Oklahoma. The Soccer Complex is also equipped with 12 fields. Pryor is home to MidAmerica Industrial Park, Oklahoma's largest industrial park and the country's largest rural industrial park. Facilities here include a 20,000 square foot expo and conference center, technical training and education facilities, and an airport capable of accepting most corporate jets. Aside from water sports, two of the most notable attractions in the area are Dry Gulch USA, a year round camp and retreat center located on the shores of Lake Hudson, and Pryor Creek Music Festivals, host site of the four day country music extravaganza, Country Fever, held annually in June.
