Antlers is about 2.5 hours from Dallas, about 3 hours from Oklahoma City and
about 2.5 hours from Tulsa. Antlers has an
exit on the Indian Nation Turnpike. Paris, Texas is 40 miles south and DeQueen,
Arkansas is about 65 miles east of Antlers.
The top draws of this region are the abundant hunting, fishing. camping, and
boating found at any of the local lakes and rivers.
A great place to just get away from it all, to relax and have fun. Southeastern
Oklahoma is often regarded as the most scenic in the state and it
really is a sportsman's paradise.

There are numerous lakes within one hour distance for the fishing and boating
enthusiasts. Fishing guides are available if you need one.

increase this number. Deer season is a huge event in Pushmataha County!
