Kenton

Travel Guide

View from the top of Black Mesa. My friend Josh and I hiked and climbed up the north side of the mesa. It was probably a rise in elevation of 800 feet. We crossed over the top of the mesa to take this picture on the south edge. It shows really well how the mesa is like a mountain with the top leveled off.

Kenton, Oklahoma is one of the most unexpected towns in the state. The 2010 census tells us that Kenton has a population of 17. This store, The Kenton Merc is opened irregularly. If you're lucky to blow through when they're open, drop in to check out the fossilized mammoth tooth and the baby rattler they keep inside.

8/10 Very Good! (15 reviews)
Positives: great water pressure and temperature, clean, good pillows, a good size room. Negative: dated, very few outlets accessible from desk, the 3 inch step down entering the room got me coming in and going out. I would definitely stay there again.

The apartment was nicely laid out and overall pretty decent, but a lot of small details were missed.
