Great Salt Plains State Park, State park with salt plains and selenite crystal fields in Jet, Oklahoma, United States.

Great Salt Plains State Park encompasses an 8,690-acre lake with 41 miles of shoreline, offering swimming, boating, and fishing opportunities throughout the year.

The salt plains originated from an ancient ocean that covered Oklahoma millions of years ago, leaving behind mineral deposits that shaped the current landscape.

The park hosts annual crystal digging events from April through October, drawing visitors who search for the distinctive hourglass-shaped selenite formations.

The park facilities include RV sites, tent camping areas, comfort stations with showers, cabins, picnic areas, group shelters, and multiple boat ramps.

This location remains the single place on Earth where visitors can discover hourglass selenite crystals, a specific formation of crystallized gypsum.
