Description
Oklahoma Salt Plains ©Debra Martz Located in northern Oklahoma near the towns of Cherokee and Jet, and within the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge, you will find over 11,000 acres of salt flats. A new location is marked off each year for the public to dig for Selenite crystals between April 1 and October 15. It then closes the gates to protect endangered wildlife/birds that pass through on migrations and some birds which nest here in the spring. The strip of blue at the tree line is where the salt flats meet the Great Salt Plains Lake. This was taken on October 12th just a few days before closing. There is a crowd behind me in the current dig area working away to find those crystals.
