Get in
The main part of Davis is easily accessible from Interstate highway I-35 at Exit 55, to the east.
The city's boundaries are quite strange. The city has owned the Turner Falls area for about a century, even though it's a couple of miles away from the main town. As a result, the city boundaries encompass one large area southwest of the I-35/US-77 interchange and a smaller area around the intersection of US-77 with Oklahoma State Highway 7, plus the highways to the west and south of the old city to connect the two areas, and two miles of Crazy Horse Airport Road heading north.
Get around
State Highway 7 runs through the center of town, connecting Davis to the nearby town of Sulphur. US Highway 77 runs south to Interstate 35.

Good Mexican food in downtown Davis. They have odd hours, so check if they're open before you go.
Eat Arbuckle Mountain Fried Pies
Popular place to stop and stretch your legs while driving between Dallas and Oklahoma City. Sweet and savory fried hand pies. Start with an egg-based pie if you arrive in time for breakfast, or one of the entree-style pies later in the day, and finish off with a sweet pie. Among locals, the apricot is the favorite flavor.
