3. Tuscarora State Park

If you merely enter “Tuscarora State Park” into the GPS, it will guide you to back gate that connects to the Crow Trail. You need to enter Lake Tuscarora into the GPS to arrive at the front of the park.
After arriving at the park, we visited briefly with a couple of park rangers and asked if there is anything that we should do, or not do, at the park. The rangers seemed at a loss for an answer. We found a map at the park office. If you plan to hike, look at the map very carefully. As an example, Lake View Trail does not go all the way around the lake. In fact, there is not any trail combination that will take you completely around the lake. Lake View Trail can lead you to Crow Trail. Near where these two trails intersect, you are near Locust Creek. We ended up doing primitive hiking through the brush, fording the creek, then locating the Spirit trail to arrive back at our starting place.
All-in-all, it was a good hike and we saw different things than what we usually see in Oklahoma.
TIP: Memorize the map as there are no signs on the trails.
4. Galen Glen Winery
Overall Ratings
5 based on 64 reviews
At Galen Glen, we farm wine. Ancient glacial soils atop millions of years old sea fossils form our topography. The land was patiently waiting for us, yielding only scrawny crops for our ancestors. As 6th generation stewards of our farm, we sustainably and respectfully balance nature and science. Our wines reflect a delicate tension of acid and ripeness, punctuated by a powerful sense of location.

We were referred by the B & B where we were staying, they touted it as a fantatstic little winery, and supplied us with a list of wines to test and consider for a dinner the following night. The winery is beautiful, very well maintained,...MoreThanks for spending some time with us. We are delighted that you enjoyed the experience and our wines and look forward to seeing you on a future visit.

Haven't been here in years. Thought I'd give it a try again. Although most of my favorite vendors are still here, some of them have been replaced with cheap merchandise stands.
The Amish pie & dessert stand was still there. Only place in the area that makes homemade raisin pie!!!! Don't leave without getting a shoe fly pie, apple dumplings & their thick & moist peanut butter cookies.
Order the whole rotisserie chicken at the other Amish stand & don't forget the baked potatoes which are baked right under the chickens & covered in crispy chicken drippings. Stop at one of the farmers' stands for a fresh vegetable & you have your dinner to take home.
Great barbecue stand that not only serves brisket, baked beans, coke slaw, pulled pork but a pulled chicken sandwich served on a hearty roll.
Just ask anyone there, "where do I get that good cheese?" & everyone knows what you mean! The cheese stand has the best aged cheddar you'll ever eat!
All in all, the food here is fabulous but the shopping has turned from "a good deal" to "cheap stuff". Miss all the coin dealers from the past & the good quality clothing. Still some nice stuff (outdoor carpeting, antiques) but few & far between.
