Mountain Fork River Tours
Mountain Fork River and the surrounding park area has a fascinating indigenous people’s history. Who better to learn it from then? The Mountain Fork River Tour is given by the descendants of the Choctaw Tribe, who settled in the area in 1832 after walking the Trail of Tears.
