Davis is a small town in south-central Oklahoma, close enough to I-35 to be easy and close enough to the Arbuckle Mountains to feel like a break from the plains. It is the natural base for Turner Falls, Oklahoma's tallest waterfall, and for a wider loop through the spring-fed creeks, limestone hills, and Chickasaw history around Sulphur.
The town itself is modest: a courthouse-square pace without the courthouse, a few road-trip restaurants, and a steady stream of weekend traffic when the weather is warm. The best reason to stop is the setting. South and east of town, the Arbuckles rise in old, folded ridges that are low by mountain standards but surprisingly rugged for Oklahoma.
Use Davis as a practical overnight or lunch stop if you are driving between Oklahoma City and north Texas. If you have only a few hours, go straight to Turner Falls; if you have a day, add Falls Creek or the short drive to Chickasaw National Recreation Area near Sulphur.
