On the Midway
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the forested Ouachita Mountain country on the Oklahoma-Arkansas border.
Before You Go
Poteau is the LeFlore County seat at the base of Cavanal Hill — the Wister Lake State Park, the Ouachita National Forest (which extends into Arkansas), Heavener Runestone State Park (featuring runic inscriptions possibly left by Norse explorers), and the beautiful Poteau River valley make LeFlore County a scenic eastern Oklahoma destination.
What to Know
Every year, Poteau hosts the LeFlore County Free Fair, which is an August fair in the Ouachita Mountains of far eastern Oklahoma, celebrating the timber, poultry, and Choctaw Nation heritage of one of Oklahoma's most scenic counties, where Cavanal Hill (claimed to be the world's highest hill) rises above the Arkansas River valley.
