Spend The Day At This State Park In Oklahoma For A Summer Adventure You Won’t Forget

Are you looking for an easy summer day trip for the whole family? Perhaps, in a beautiful Oklahoma State Park? If so, check out Robbers Cave State Park that offers lakes, outdoor recreation, cave exploring, mini golf, and even overnight accommodations if you’d like to extend your day trip.

Robbers Cave State Park is located in the scenic San Bois Mountains on Hwy 2 North in Wilburton, OK. It's an 8,246-acre park that is popular for hiking, rappelling, camping and everything outdoors.

There are plenty of places to go swimming and cool off in the park. With 189 combined lake acres between Lake Carlton, Lake Wayne Wallace, and Coon Creek, you'll have more than enough space to spread out and enjoy water activities.

Plus, they rent paddle boats, canoes, and kayaks.

Anyone up for some mini golf? If so, they have a course right there in the park. And you can grab some shaved ice before testing your putting skills on the greens.

The park not only houses incredible caves but it also protects thousands of acres of the San Bois Mountain region.

Explore the lakes and take a walk to Lake Carlton Dam - a fun place we recommend every visitor check out.

Take a ride on the all new Belle Starr Express and enjoy the wildlife and the scenic tour for only $4 per person.

Robbers Cave has over 12 miles of trails that will wind you through caves, lakes, streams, and breathtaking scenery.

And they even have a disc golf course alongside the lake.

You'll probably want to extend your day trip to a weekend getaway, so check out these cool places to stay overnight in the park. Below you'll see one of their yurts - a permanent round tent that offers the experience of camping but with modern conveniences.

And how darling is this covered wagon you can stay in? It includes two queen sized beds that can sleep four guests comfortably.
