Sandwiched Between Tulsa And Joplin Is Oklahoma's Quaint Town With Lake Fun And State Park Beauty
The Ozark Mountains don't resemble your average rocky peaks. But the highland plateaus are rugged just the same, blanketed by flat-topped ridges, rolling hills, dense forests, and a myriad of winding rivers. In Oklahoma, Spavinaw sits right on the edge of it all. The small town is tucked away in the southwest corner of the beautiful mountain region, roughly halfway between Tulsa and Joplin over in Missouri. Straddling State Highway 20, roughly an hour's drive to Tulsa International Airport (TUL), Spavinaw makes for a great day trip or a weekend retreat in the wilds of Oklahoma.
