[[Chickasaw National Recreation Area]] (originally Platt National Park), a popular destination for many regional tourists, is located just south of the town of Sulphur.<ref name="EOHC-CNRA">{{cite web|url= http://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=CH035 |title= Chickasaw National Recreation Area|author= Constance A.

The pungent odor and taste are quite popular with some people. Other attractions include the Arbuckle Mountain range, just to the southwest, complete with many hiking and recreational opportunities.

Sulphur is also the home to the [[Chickasaw Cultural Center]], a museum which tells the story of the [[Chickasaw Nation]].

Vendome Well remains the state's largest artesian spring. Its sulfur water fed a stream that converged with Travertine Creek and formed a small lake. People smeared the lake's mud on their bodies to cure ailments.<ref name="EOHC-Sulphur"/>
