Oklahoma is known as The Sooner State — a nod to the eager settlers staking their claims before its official opening of available lands in the western Oklahoma Territory. The vivid and interesting variety of terrain including archaic mountain ranges, mesas, prairies, and forests, are all prone to severe weather, making this truly an exciting wonderland of natural occurrences. And just as the first settlers who brought their willingness to discover new lives, bountiful numbers of residents and tourists invade the state parks every year for untold adventures and experiences only these ruggedly, wild places can offer. Here are three of the best state park lodges in Oklahoma you must experience.

1. Lake Murray State Park earns the prize as the largest and first state park in Oklahoma. And the lake, which takes up almost half of the 12,500 acres, is almost completely surrounded by the park.
