Altus is located in the heart of Oklahoma's Great Plains Country and is the county seat of Jackson County. The community is located 139 miles southwest of Oklahoma City, the state capital. Access to our great town is provided north and south by U.S. Highway 283 and U.S. Highway 6 and east and west by U.S. Highway 62. Nature provided a head start in making Altus one of the most pleasant places to live in this part of the country. Warm, sunny days provide a great opportunity for you to enjoy the activities such as shopping, visiting our museums, golfing, baseball, basketball, swimming, hiking and exploring the mountains, or just relaxing at the area parks, including nearby Quartz Mountain. For the stock car enthusiast we also have two of the finest tracks in the state. Altus is home to Altus AFB and world class companies including Bar-S Foods Co, Altus Athletic Manufacturing and Republic Gypsum. Altus Air Force Base is home to the 97th Air Mobility Wing, whose mission is to operate the Air Education and Training Command's strategic airlift and aerial refueling flying training schools. Altus AFB is home to the C-17 Globemaster III, C-5 Galaxy (the largest US military plane), KC-135 Stratotanker and simulator museum. Some of America's finest hunting grounds are within easy reach of Altus. Known for some of the best quail hunting in the U.S., Altus offers upland game hunting for squirrel, rabbit and raccoon as well as two open seasons for outstanding turkey stalking. For duck and goose hunters, migratory fowl flyways hold the promise of bounty. Dove hunters won't want to miss the two-month season in the fall. Anglers and their families will find the best year 'round fishing for bass, crappie and catfish on nearby lakes. For entertainment in town, visitors can choose from car shows, arts and crafts shows, antique shows and other events throughout the year at the indoor-outdoor community center. From July through September, there's a farmers' market with special festivals and civic functions. Christmas in the Park rounds out the calendar as visitors from all over Oklahoma and Texas make their way into Altus for the festive event. Theaters, roller skating rinks, bowling alleys, miniature golf courses and bicycling and walking lanes around Altus City Reservoir add to the recreational opportunities for visitors. The Elks Golf and Country Club offers a character-building golf course. A municipal swimming pool complex, lighted tennis courts and playground facilities are available to families at Altus' numerous parks. Excerpt from http://www.altuschamber.com |
