Talimena Scenic Drive - Oklahoma
Horse Thief Spring Historic Site and Picnic Ground, OK
A historic spring and picnic ground on the Talimena Scenic Drive, Horse Thief offers trails located along logging roads of the 1920s. Some of these trails follow routes horse thieves used in the 1800s. These outlaws made their camps and corrals near the top of Winding Stair Mountain because of the existence of a perennial spring. Civilian Conservation Corps crews built a stone structure in the 1930s to contain the spring water and prevent subsequent erosion.
