Fall is a beautiful time of year in McCurtain County.  The leaves are at their peak and give the illusion of driving through an oil painting.  They are so beautiful they look painted on the mountains.  Red oak, maple, gum trees, hickory, haw and sumac are blazing colors of red, yellow, orange. Harvest is going on in the Red River Valley.  Pine Plantations up in the breathtaking Kiamichi Mts. are ground prepping for winter plant of pine seedlings.  4-H ers, beauty queens, FFA ers, quilters, canners, pie bakers and horse backers are polishing up for fall festivals.  In creek bottoms and pecan groves crows are cawing as they collect the flock for fall.

    Kayak concessions rev up the family floats down the cold, clear ripples and falls on Mt. Fork River.  Fishermen spin the early morning coves of Broken Bow and Pine Creek Lakes with mists rising from warm lake water as it hits cool, fall air.  Hip deep in the cold current of Evening Hole, sport trout fisherpersons try to out fox the wiley rainbow.

    Red Slough (wildlife preserve south of Idabel) and National Wildlife Refuge (wildlife preserve south of Broken Bow) are awash with color as migrating birds and fall wildflowers put on a show.  Birders with spoting scopes in overlook towers await twilight as flocks roost. Designed for birders, Red Slough is the newest tourist attraction in McCurtain County. Species of waterfowl and waterflora abound in dammed tributaries of Red and Little Rivers forming shallow lakes teeming with forage for migrating water birds.  Some species winter over in the lush vegetation and mild climates. 

    Students are craming for exams at the 4 year, plus advanced degree,  college:  Southeastern Oklahoma State University - Idabel Campus.  Kiamichi Vo-Tech offers a variety of continuing ed courses and technical training skills. 

Little Dixie Transit, public transportation, will come to homes and businesses to transport persons who cannot, or prefer not to, drive.  We have great resturants, a vibrant business community with active and vital civic clubs, schools with high academic standards and a variety of athletic and music programs. There is even a school robotics team with NASA backing.

Our Medical community is expanding with a several  million dollar rennovation to McCurtain Memorial Hospital to include out patient clinics and after hours services.

We have a state of the art Museum of the Red River dedicated to perserving the cultures of the world.  An extensive collection of anchient ceramics and textiles and Native tribes clothing and artifacts are on display in rotating galleries.  Also there is a dinasaur dug up right here in McCurtain County in an awesome display room of its own.  The Museum hosts local events, and has a convention center under construction for community use.

We have thriving churches and a wonderful blend of cultures represented in our diverse population.
