The term “bootlegger” probably got its start somewhere along this route for the territory that was supposed to be “dry” was anything but that. Cowboys would slip flasks into their boots to smuggle the contraband in from Arkansas. The back roads between Siloam Springs and Muskogee were well known to young men who earned some extra cash on the moonshine run. The Cookson Hills, picturesque and peaceful today, hid many a copper still at one time that kept federal marshals up in arms. Today this road still has a little of the rebel attitude, and these Cherokee hills still move the spirits. For truly wild beauty, stop at Natural Falls State Park and step into a place that seems frozen in time.
Set in the heart of “Green Country,” this ride shows just what has earned the region this nickname. The sparkling waters of lakes, creeks and rivers create a lush canopy of green over your gypsy ride. Travel through the old Cherokee towns of Tahlequah and Fort Gibson and enjoy their quaint downtowns. You’ll follow the winding Illinois River and enjoy the beauty of two lakes – Fort Gibson and Tenkiller. Highway 80 will take you past the historic Fort Gibson stockade, worth a stop to look around.
Adventure awaits you on this road where every mile is a delight. Exhilarating ribbons of pavement wind through these mountains that step higher and higher toward the sky in layers of smoky blue. You’re in Choctaw country now, an area known as “Little Dixie” for its politics, its southern comfort food, and its unmistakable hospitality. The road will take you past the “world’s tallest hill” and “Short Mountain.” Side excursions to Robbers’ Cave State Park and the Spiro Indian Mounds make this all-day journey a ride to remember.
