Robbers Cave State Park
Robbers Cave State Park, State park and historic hideout in Latimer County, Oklahoma.
Description
Robbers Cave State Park sits within the Sans Bois Mountains in Latimer County and covers wooded hills, lakes, and rock outcrops. The terrain offers trails through forest, open water for paddling, and cliffs used for climbing.
History
The area served as a hideout for outlaws including the Youngers, Daltons, and Jesse James during the years following the Civil War. The Civilian Conservation Corps built most of the park facilities and structures during the 1930s.
Culture
The park carries its name from the outlaw history that once unfolded among these rocks and woods. Structures built during the Depression era follow the rustic design tradition favored by federal work programs, with heavy timber and native stone visible throughout the grounds.
