One of Pryor’s most appealing qualities is its far reaching lifestyle options and quality of life features. ​The community and its area offer several distinct lifestyles to meet the needs of its residents.

Beautiful Scenery

An abundance of lakes, parks and waterfalls provide opportunities for anyone who enjoys nature walks, fishing and all water sports at their finest. Pryor is located in the “Heart of Green Country,” less than 50 miles from more than 2,500 miles of lakeshore - and just 10 minutes from Lake Hudson one of Oklahoma’s most beautiful lakes and an angler’s paradise.

Museum

Formerly known as the Coo-Y-Yah Museum, which means "place of the huckleberries," the Mayes County Historical County Museum is housed in the Katy Railroad Depot. Artifacts and exhibits feature the Cherokee and Osage Indians, art and local history.

Parks

Our community enjoys an abundance of lush parks. Whitaker Park, located in the town center, provides a splash pad, tennis courts, a swimming pool, measured walking trail, fishing pond, sand volleyball and basketball courts, playgrounds and picnic pavilions. Centennial Park is also equipped with a measured walking trail, as well as fitness stations along the trail.

Downtown Pryor

Discover Downtown Pryor - with blocks of unique locally-owned shops and boutiques. Take in a movie at the Allred Theatre - a restored 1916 vaudeville movie house. Stop by one of our restaurants for local home-style southern cooking and bar-b-que, as well as continental grills, Mexican, Chinese, and major chain restaurants.

Art Gallery
