A homestead for OU grads and long-time locals
On the banks of the Canadian River, Adkins Crossing derives its name from the ferry service established there in the late 19th century by Pryor Adkins, an industrious entrepreneur and the founder of Norman, Oklahoma. His ferry was long ago swept away by more modern means of river crossing, but Adkins Crossing is still a place known for its access. "Its convenient location within walking distance to OU is a big draw to the area," says Lynne Siano, branch broker with Metro Brokers of OK Siano & Co. "A lot of people buy second homes so they're close to campus and all the sports and activities offered there." The University of Oklahoma joined the SEC in July 2024, and locals are buzzing. “It’s a very exciting time,” says Erin Yarbrough, an OU graduate, Norman resident and director of marketing for Ideal Homes. “I graduated from OU, my husband graduated from OU, and half our office graduated from OU. A lot of people stay after graduating because the area has this perfect mix of feeling small but easy access to world-class resources.”
The Canadian River flows through the middle of Adkins Crossing.
Homes in Adkins Crossing were built from the early 1980s through the 2000s.

Go Sooners
The University of Oklahoma Sooners have won 50 conference titles in football — the most in the nation. Residents of Adkins Crossing can head to Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, a 10-minute drive barring any traffic. For fresh-air fun with the kids, families can go to Adkins Crossing Park, where there's a playground, a skate park and a soccer field to enjoy. Nature lovers appreciate proximity to the Oliver Wildlife Preserve, a 70-acre woodland managed by OU's Oklahoma Biological Survey. Though the preserve is primarily used for research rather than recreation, visitors are welcome to walk the designated nature trail loop by themselves or with an OU biologist or student as a guide. Those who prefer birdies on the back nine can swing over to The Trails Golf Club of Norman, a membership club with an 18-hole course, a pool and dining facilities. Sandwiched between the golf club and the nature preserve, Canadian Trails Park has a playground, a paved walking trail and open green space. The nearby Canadian River is also a popular destination for kayaking, fishing and birdwatching on the riverbank.
