The State
Oklahoma spans a variety of terrain, from open grasslands and prairie in the northwest to forested rolling hills and mountains in the southeast. The state contains dozens of large lakes and reservoirs, including three in the immediate Oklahoma City area. The moderate sunbelt climate allows swimming, boating, and fishing access to these resources through most of the year. The Wichita Mountains, a scenic region for sports, camping and other recreational activities and the home of a large wildlife and buffalo preserve, can be reached after a short drive. Also, within a modest drive are the Ozark Mountains in eastern Oklahoma and Arkansas, and the Rocky Mountains of New Mexico and Colorado.
