Talimena State Park, State park in LeFlore County, US.
Talimena State Park is a nature area in the Ouachita Mountains that marks the Oklahoma entrance to the Talimena Scenic Drive. The grounds feature walking paths through forested hills with overlooks along the mountain route.
The area follows ancient paths where Native Americans and early settlers crossed the Ouachita Mountains and shaped the region. These routes later became the foundation for the modern drive, now known as the Scenic Drive.
The park functions as an educational center where rangers conduct programs about local wildlife, plant species, and environmental conservation throughout the year.
The park provides campsites for RVs and tents with shower facilities and water access for overnight visits. Morning walks are ideal since temperatures are cooler and views are clearest at that time.
The location sits along the path of a rare celestial alignment where the sun and moon fully overlap and cast a shadow across the land. This is an event most visitors do not expect when first arriving at the site.
