Oklahoma City is not the only Oklahoma area worth seeing.
Atoka, Oklahoma, located in the southeast portion of the state, is a popular destination for hunting and water sports and is the home to some of the finest fishing in the region. Since the extension of Highway 69 was built through this formerly tiny town, more attention has been brought to the natural beauties and particular charms of the area. The best way to experience the rustic and untouched environment of rural Atoka is to stay in one of the cabins available in the area.
Fire Fly Hollow Cabins
Fire Fly Hollow Cabins, located on McGee Creek, are affordable and located near the 8,900-acre Bugaboo Canyon Natural Scenic Area for hunting and observing nature. Each cabin is air-conditioned and has a fireplace, a full kitchenette, bed linens, and a charcoal grill, fire ring and picnic table just outside. McGee Creek is a particular favorite of local fisherman, who regularly catch largemouth and smallmouth bass, catfish, flatheads, crappie and sunfish. This is also a prime area for water sports such as water-skiing and boating.
