Sometimes, you just need to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and enjoy a leisurely drive far away from it all. As you know, Oklahoma is full of wide-open roads that are miles and miles away from everything, and one such place is Highway 412 in northwestern Oklahoma. Take a drive down the loneliest highway in the Sooner State to enjoy some time away.
Not only will your road trip across northwestern Oklahoma be on the loneliest highway in the state, but it will also be on the straightest highway in America.

Be prepared to drive for miles and miles and see nothing but farmland. As you’re driving down the highway, you’ll see only the horizon in the distance…no structures around.
