Quartz Mountain Nature Park, Nature park and protected area near Lake Altus-Lugert, Oklahoma, United States
The park encompasses granite peaks, mixed grass plains, and Lake Altus-Lugert, creating diverse ecosystems for native plants and wildlife throughout its territory.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the park during the New Deal era, completing the development in 1937 as one of Oklahoma's first seven state parks.
The Oklahoma Arts Institute operates within the park, offering programs in performing arts and maintaining a 700-seat center alongside five studio pavilions.
The park provides facilities for camping, hiking, rock climbing at Baldy Point, boating on Lake Altus-Lugert, and seasonal ATV riding on 400 acres.
Three distinct habitat regions support rare species including prairie falcons, golden eagles, green toads, mountain lions, and mountain barrel cactus.
