Turner Falls Turner Falls Location Turner Falls Park, Interstate 35, Davis, Oklahoma, United States Type Fan Total height 77 ft. Swimming at Turner Falls Turner Falls, an American waterfall, at 77 feet ( 23 m ), is locally considered Oklahoma 's tallest waterfall, although its height matches one in Natural Falls State Park. The falls are located on Honey Creek in the Arbuckle Mountains in south central Oklahoma, 6 miles ( 9.7 km ) south of Davis. History Mazeppa Thomas Turner, a Scottish immigrant farmer who married Laura Johnson, a Chickasaw woman, settled in the area in 1878 and discovered the falls. The falls were named for him. Recreational use began in or before 1868. Today, the falls are part of Turner Falls Park, a city park operated by the city of Davis, Oklahoma. The Falls cascade into a natural swimming pool, one of two such pools within the park, and these are popular tourist destinations in the summer. The city of Davis acquired the park in 1919 and operated it until 1950. It then leased the facility to other interests until 1978, when it resumed control. The park covers 1,500 acres ( 6.1 km ), and also contains nature trails, caves and other interesting geological features. It also has a walk - in castle which was built in the 1930s.
