Wishing you and yours a blessed and happy holiday season!

🎄 Aunt Janet popped into Sequoyah State Park after Christmas and the lodge was still SERVING holiday magic. Cozy fires, twinkly lights, peak Hallmark energy. Next Christmas trip? Already planned in my heart. ⏳ 364-day countdown begins.

🌞 The weather is perfect. That’s your warning. Book the campsite. Pack the cooler. Oklahoma weather waits for no one. 🌲⏳ 📷 Great Plains

Catch y'all on the trail!

Hope you all have been out enjoying a lovely #NationalBirdDay! 🪶 📷 Foss

Weather is perfect for exploring the world's largest gypsum show cave! Well, it's a cave, so the weather is always perfect for exploring the world's largest gypsum show cave. Load up your crew and hit the road to check out Alabaster Caverns State Park okstateparks.camp/Alabaster

Pumpkins aren’t trail décor. 🎃 At Sequoyah State Park, leaving food along trails attracts wildlife to busy areas, spreads disease and disrupts the ecosystem. Leave No Trace means pack it in, pack it out — even the “natural” stuff. 🌲

No matter the weather, time of day or night, our Oklahoma State Park Rangers are often the first to respond, lending a hand to serve and protect our guests. We love our Rangers and wanted to give them a special shoutout this #NationalLawEnforcementDay!

spring-ready and winter-proof. This Robbers Cave cabin delivers shady trails, front-porch sittin’ and stone-chimney vibes when the temps drop. Birdsong now. Wool socks later. Either way—you win. okstateparks.camp/RobbersCave

Adventure without barriers 💙 Lake Murray’s Track Chair + dedicated trail mean everyone gets a front-row seat to the outdoors. This is what inclusive recreation looks like. 🌿
