Dripping Springs State Park, Lakeside state park in Okmulgee County, US.
Dripping Springs State Park is a woodland park with two lakes in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, surrounded by dense oak forests and natural rock formations. The site spans several hundred acres and offers fishing, boating, and exploration across varied terrain.
This park was created in the 1930s during the economic downturn through workers from two major federal building programs. These programs left behind distinctive sandstone structures built from local stone that still stand in the park today.
The park holds significance for Oklahoma's fishing community as it developed into a destination focused on sport fishing and outdoor recreation. The natural setting reflects how locals value the connection between forests, water, and leisure activities.
The park has over 100 camping sites with basic facilities and special spots equipped for RVs with water and power connections. Accessible fishing areas and restroom facilities enable all visitors to reach the lakes and explore the woods.
The water contains an old submerged forest with tree trunks beneath the surface that creates a distinctive underwater environment. This subaquatic setting helps large bass populations thrive and grow in the lakes.
