Chickasaw National Recreation Area
Veterans Center Trail

Distance: 0.5 miles [0.8 km]

Average Time: 1/2 hour

Difficulty: Very easy/surface is hard-packed soil

Starting Point: Pavilion Springs

The Veterans Trail is an easy one-way trail that leads from Pavilion Springs to the perimeter road and to the Oklahoma Veterans Center. This trail through a cedar and hardwood forest was once the site for a golf course built in 1924. Since the closure of the golf course in 1934, natural plant succession has steadily reclaimed the land. This is a good alternative route from the Travertine Creek trail or the perimeter road.

Did You Know?
Chickasaw National Recreation Area was originally famous for its mineral springs. Black Sulphur, Pavilion, and Hillside springs, along with the Vendome Well, produce mineral water. The National Park Service neither substantiates nor denies claims about the medicinal value of the waters.
