Walnut Creek State Park

Walnut Creek State Park spreads across roughly 1,400 acres along the north shore of Lake Keystone with woodlands, open fields, and sandy beaches. The park offered various recreational facilities including RV hookups, camping sites, and a 15-mile trail system.

Oklahoma established this recreational park in 1966 and operated it until its permanent closure in October 2014. The decades of operation reflected its importance as a regional recreation destination.

The land maintains deep connections to the Osage Nation and reflects the indigenous heritage of the region.

The park was best visited during warmer months when water and outdoor activities were most accessible. Note that it has been permanently closed and is no longer available for recreation.

A distinctive feature was the equestrian campground that provided specialized accommodations for visitors traveling with horses, though the park offered no rental services. This facility catered specifically to riders bringing their own animals.
