Welcome
Welcome to Okmulgee & Dripping Springs State Parks. We are delighted you are here and extend a warm welcome to our first time visitors and a “welcome back” to our returning guests. We hope you enjoy our “Oasis in the Oaks.” We are nestled in the mighty oak trees just west of Okmulgee with two beautiful state parks and lakes for your enjoyment. We offer 123 semi-modern RV sites and 72 primitive tent sites. Restrooms, showers, lighted boat ramps, pavilions, playgrounds and ADA accessible fishing docks are available. Enjoy swimming and water sports on the lakes. A 3 1/2 mile hiking trail, part of which is ADA accessible, attracts nature lovers to the park. A rare and unique, 300 million year old fossil can be found at Okmulgee State Park called Gymnophyllum wardi (“button coral”). Samples can be seen at the Visitors Center. Okmulgee Lake, built in 1927. Dripping Springs lake completed in 1979 was designated Oklahoma’s first “Trophy Bass lake.” Okmulgee State Park boasts several 1930’s Works Progress Administration (WPA) and Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) structures. These native stone structures are a monument to young men and their tireless efforts. We want your visit here to be a great experience. We hope you enjoy your stay and please come back again.
