Roman Nose State Park

Roman Nose State Park is a recreation area set within a canyon landscape shaped by gypsum rock formations, three natural springs, and two lakes. Cedar trees and native grasses cover the terrain, creating a varied natural setting.

The park was created in 1937 when the Civilian Conservation Corps built it as part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal programs. It was among Oklahoma's first state parks established during that era.

The park takes its name from Cheyenne leader Henry Roman Nose, who made this canyon his retreat. Visitors today encounter this connection to the past through the landscape itself.

You can stay in the 22-room lodge, choose from 11 rental cabins, or pick from over 90 campsites designated for RVs and tents. Planning ahead helps you find the right location for your needs since accommodations spread across different areas of the grounds.

The grounds feature an 18-hole golf course built into the natural canyon terrain itself. Each hole presents players with distinct elevation changes that follow the land's natural contours.
