Muskogee is an affordable, friendly river city with a walkable downtown, riverfront parks, local museums, live music and regular community events—great for a travel therapist who wants a comfortable, interesting place to recharge between multi-week shifts and the chance to feel settled.
When you want bigger-city options, Tulsa (≈50 miles) and Fort Smith, AR (≈70 miles) are short drives for major restaurants, theaters, regional hospitals and weekend escapes.
