You’ll Love Digging For Crystals At This Unique Oklahoma State Park
One of my favorite outdoor activities in Oklahoma is digging for crystals in Great Salt Plains State Park. Digging season just started on April 1st and right now is a great time of the year to enjoy this fun adventure you can’t do anywhere else in the world.
Great Salt Plains State Park in Jet, Oklahoma, is the only place in the world where you can dig for these hourglass-shaped crystals. You'll find the state park about 45 miles northeast of Enid at 23280 S Spillway Drive in the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge.
Grab those shovels and buckets because digging season is open and you’ll want to visit this attraction that is unlike anything else in the world as soon as possible...especially before the weather gets too hot.
Oklahoma is the only place in the world where these hourglass shapes form inside these crystals. It's created this way because of the way the sand and water combine together, forming the shape.
It's a one-of-a-kind experience every Oklahoman should have at least once in their lifetime. Once you start digging, the kids will never want to leave!

Did you know you can go white water rafting right here in Oklahoma? It’s true! A state-of-the-art facility was built in Oklahoma City featuring man-made rapids perfect for whitewater rafting, tubing, and kayaking. If you never had the nerve to try it before, it’s time to put the excuses behind you and take on the rapids in this fun (but safe) facility. Read more about it here.
