Oologah! It’s a cool word, and also an awesome park! Oolagah Lake is especially popular with boaters. There are 14 boat launches here, and a full-service marina. The lake is great for sailboats—you can catch some wind on the wide stretches of water. Anglers, cast a line for the sand bass, catfish, hybrid striped bass, crappie, and walleye. There are two sandy swimming beaches here, so take a dip in the refreshing waters, or just stretch out on a towel and enjoy the scenery. Don’t forget your sunscreen! There are lots of hiking trails to choose from. Check out Will Rogers Country Centennial Trail. It’s an 18-mile trail that winds along the shoreline, through woodland and open meadow. Keep your eyes open and camera ready for wildlife and great water views. The foliage is especially beautiful in the autumn. Don’t forget to share your best shots with us!

Don’t believe in love at first sight? Visit Heyburn Lake and let them prove you wrong. Pack the swimsuit (and sunblock!), and hang ‘round the beach, soaking in some much needed Vitamin D and splashing in the water! Begin—and win—a sandcastle building competition; prepare for all your childhood beach memories to come flooding back. Take an afternoon break for a lakeside picnic, relax, and let the cool breeze playfully try to knock your plate over. After lunch, scramble on your boat and putter around the lake, try to catch a glimpse of some wildlife in the water. Heyburn Lake could very easily become one of your favorite places, and we wouldn’t blame you one bit.

Oklahoma is A-OK with us, especially after a trip to Birch Lake. Hitch up the boat and pack the tent; after a few minutes here, you’ll be begging to head out on the lake and extend your trip! While we’re at it, you won’t want to leave the fishing equipment at home; angle out and go for the big catch! With a wide variety of animals to check out (can you say bison!) trails to explore, and a beach to soak up sun in, you might never leave. Dip your toes in, or cannonball right into the lake: it’s time to get your hair wet! Rich in history and in spirit, Birch Lake is the place to be!

This was such a special place, and we loved the wooded seclusion of site 5. The hammock was a treat for our daughters, and our dogs loved roaming around off leash. The trails and property are so well maintained, and the owners were incredibly hospitable. We'll definitely be back!

People who run the place are awesome and super friendly. The people who camp there are as well. My girlfriend and I enjoyed every second of our stay! The showers were definitely an attractive outdoorsy experience. Campsites all were kept up with, the your was informative. I can't comment on the lake, I didn't take the time to see it sadly but I bet that is well worth it. We had all the privacy we needed. Already recommended the place to family and friends out on the east coast!

Beautiful location, very private and lots of nice options for tent camping. We ended up not staying the night however, because we were covered in ticks. We took bug spray, but we must have picked thirty ticks off of ourselves and our dogs. And we’re still finding ticks on the dogs two days later. Other than that, the site was perfect.

Beautiful location and wonderful hosts. Cows behind you, birds all around you singing happily and listening to the coyotes talking at night was amazing. They have the most adorable outhouse! 5 stars all day. They are very active on the app so if you have any questions I'm sure they'll be quick to reply. Highly recommend if you're passing through.

What really stood out is the serene sound of nothing. I took my birthday trip out here for a couple nights to get away the hustle of city life. Me and my fiancée took huge advantage of the hammock and read pretty much the entire time. Very well kept grounds and an amazing host offering to pull us out of the mud if it had taken place. Would 100% recommend!
