Autumn is one of the most magical times to live in or visit Oklahoma. The air is crisp, the trees are ablaze in brilliant red, orange, and gold, and the state comes alive with fall festivals, haunted houses, and outdoor adventures. Whether you love scenic drives, pumpkin patches, haunted houses, or just soaking up fall foliage, Oklahoma delivers.
Here’s your complete guide to the best fall attractions across the state — plus tips on how to make this season part of your everyday life.
Scenic Drives & Fall Foliage Hotspots
Oklahoma is home to some of the best fall foliage drives in the country. Here are must-see routes for leaf lovers:
-
Talimena National Scenic Byway – A 54-mile drive through the Ouachita Mountains, famous for panoramic fall color views.
-
Boiling Springs State Park & Chickasaw National Recreation Area – Ideal for camping, hiking, and photographing autumn reflections.
-
Highway 10 in Green Country – Winds between Lake Eucha and Grove, with stops like Har-Ber Village Museum and Grand Lake State Park.

Beavers Bend / Broken Bow – Trails surrounded by towering pines and glowing foliage; perfect for a cabin weekend getaway.
Peak Season: Mid-October to early November is when colors are usually at their most brilliant, though timing can shift slightly by region.
Pumpkin Patches & Fall Festivals
No Oklahoma fall is complete without a visit to a pumpkin patch or corn maze. Many farms offer hayrides, cider, kids’ games, and photo-worthy backdrops. Check local listings near OKC, Tulsa, and smaller towns for options like Parkhurst Pumpkin Patch, Orr Family Farm, and Pumpkin Town Farms.
Fall festivals are plentiful, too — from harvest fairs to craft shows to Oktoberfest events, you’ll find no shortage of weekend fun.
