Alva
Report
Alva was established in 1893 as a land office from the Cherokee Outlet Land Run, the largest of the land rushes that settled western and central Oklahoma.
The site was chosen for its location on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway and likely named for a railroad attorney, Alva Adams, who had become governor of Colorado.
Alva is home to Northwestern Oklahoma State University, founded in 1897.
The college's main building for a time was the "Castle on the Hill, " a huge, fanciful brick building, modeled after a Norman castle, that towered over much of the town.

Beaver
Report
Beaver is home to the nation's most unusual competition - The Annual Cow Chip Throw!
Come see dozens of folks flinging "cow patty" pies yards down the way.
Don't worry, you'll never get pooped in Beaver - we watch where we sling!
The rest of the year enjoy Beaver Dunes Park.
520 acres of dune buggy rides on 300 acres of sand hills - fish and hike too at the Beaver Dunes Park lake.
Beaver Dunes State Park is an off-road paradise; 300+ acres of dunes with an ORV area to play in the sand.
Pioneer campground is located by the off road vehicle area, but if you would rather just fish on the small 5 acre lake, stay over at Hackberry.

Canton
Report
Canton Lake is a beautiful centerpiece of tourism and recreation for the entire Red Carpet region.
45 miles of shoreline and 7,910 acres of cool, clear water are home to numerous boat ramps, 5 multi-use areas and a family-friendly sandy swimming beach.
The lake is a fisherman's paradise - walleye, crappie, white bass, channel catfish and large-mouth bass make their home in these waters.
There's a casino up the road.
Just south of the casino, the friendly town of Canton provides great shopping and a well-kept walking trail where events are often held.

The arts and history blend together in Enid, Red Carpet Country's largest city and home to one of only seven Certified Cultural Districts in Oklahoma.

The Enid Symphony Orchestra, Oklahoma's longest-running symphony since 1905, lives here, as does the Gaslight Theatre, one of the state's most active community theatres and Oklahoma's only free Shakespeare in the Park.
