Designated camping area at Atoka WMA. aged cooperatively between the Oklahoma
WILDLIFEDEPARTMENT.COM Department of Wildlife Conservation and the
U.S. Forest Service.
Situated in the scenic, mountainous, oak-
pine forest, this is a popular destination for
many small game, turkey, deer, and black
bear hunters from across the United States.
However, hunting is just one of the many
activities available. Ouachita-Le Flore has
something to offer most anyone who has an
appreciation for the outdoors.
This massive WMA contains hundreds of
miles of public travelable roads, ranging from
through highways, to gravel and dirt logging
roads. In addition to roads, are miles of des-
ignated hiking, horseback riding, and ATV
trails. As a result of U.S. Forest Service timber
management practices, the logging roads are
rotationally maintained in areas where tim-
ber harvest occurs and consequently provide
great access for hunters, trappers, and out-
door enthusiasts.
