With fall right around the corner, the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department is sharing ways that Oklahomans can enjoy the cooler temperatures, explore the outdoors and see the natural beauty of our state parks.
From hiking through the foliage to making eyecatching autumn-themed crafts, there are plenty of reasons to visit a state park this fall. Many of the parks have planned fallthemed activities and events.
