The 2011 Chickasaw National Recreation Area Quarter is the tenth coin in the America the Beautiful Quarter series, and the final for 2011. Capturing the tranquility of the Chickasaw National Recreation Area in the state Oklahoma is a challenge for the United States Mint.

A general circulation release date of November 14, 2011 is shown for the Chickasaw Quarters at which time the strikes will be available from local financial institutions through the Federal Reserve Bank system.

The final design for the reverse of the Chickasaw Quarter was designed by AIP Master Designer Donna Weaver and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Jim Licaretz. It shows the Lincoln Bridge, a picturesque favorite location of visitors to the area. The bridge was dedicated in 1909 to celebrate the centennial of the birth of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.
