Talimena Scenic Byway near Talihina, Oklahoma

A place worth knowing

Make room for Talihina.

Let Talihina be a starting point for a carefully chosen mountain drive or cultural visit. Weather and road conditions matter on the byway, and forest recreation requires a specific access point. Leave room for a local meal and the separate drive to Tuskahoma.

A few good ways to begin.

Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.

Talimena National Scenic Byway

Choose a section of the scenic drive and designated overlooks using current road information. Check fog, storms, winter conditions and services; seasonal foliage and clear views are not guaranteed. The full corridor extends into Arkansas.
