Clayton Lake State Park OK camping guide

Overview

About

A serene lake in the mountains surrounded by lush green forest, clean air, and peace and quiet? Yes please! If you are looking for a tranquil mountain getaway for you, your canoe and your fishing pole, look no further than Clayton Lake State Park. This 80-acre lake is open to small boats and fishing, but not for water sports so you won’t have to worry about those buzzing jetskis killing your vibe. Instead you’ll be able to glide across the still surface and find that Zen you’ve been craving. Bring your hiking boots to explore the trail network that meanders around the tree lined lake. If you want a little somethin’ extra special, visit this park in the fall for some eye-popping scenery as the leaves change color all around the lake. Don’t forget the camera!
