Get ready to discover one of Oklahoma's most surprising and historic gems: Roman Nose State Park! Join us as we explore this stunning "red-bed country" oasis, featuring lush canyons, majestic mesas, and sheer gypsum rock cliffs.
This isn't just a beautiful park—it's a living monument to Oklahoma history. We dive into the park's origins as one of the original seven state parks (est. 1937), its connection to respected Cheyenne Chief Henry Roman Nose, and the incredible New Deal-era stonework built by the CCC.
Discover the unique natural features that make this park thrive, including the legendary "Spring of Everlasting Waters," which feeds seasonal trout fishing in Lake Watonga. Plus, we cover the unexpected activities you can enjoy:
Tee off at the spectacular 18-hole Roman Nose Golf Course nestled in the canyons.
Bring your horse or rent one for a guided equestrian trail ride.
Relax at the renovated, mid-century modern Roman Nose Lodge or rent a seasonal teepee.
We wrap up by shining a light on Think Ability Inc., promoting independent living for people with developmental disabilities, and the newly unveiled digital map boosting tourism for Route 66's 100th anniversary.
