Choctaw Country Halal Travel Guide

This area and the people are quite different from the rest of Oklahoma. Thit is a very rural area with the largest towns and city's being just a few thousand people. In the central-west area and the towns are a few hundred at most and generally under 100 in population. You will find a very mountainous area here with pine forests such as the Ouachita National forest. Ouachita is the Indian word Washita with French spelling and means "good hunting grounds". It is a very good region for deer hunting and is a very popular destination during deer season. During your visit do not miss the scenic Talimena Drive, which is mostly in Oklahoma but ends in Mena (Arkansas) | Mena, Arkansas. The area was explored extensively by the French and several of the names in the area are mistaken for American Indian names, but in reality are French.
