Lake Wister State Park

Lake Wister State Park Come enjoy a stay in a cozy one or two-bedroom cabin or book a campsite for RV, tent or even hammock camping by the lake. A free splash pad is open seasonally.

We also offer a lovely group camp for those family reunions, corporate retreats or group getaways. Lake Wister State Park, located within the Winding Stair Scenic Byway in Oklahoma, is a gateway to the beautiful Quachita National Forest. The focal point of the park is Lake Wister, with 7,300 surface acres and 115 miles of shoreline. The park is currently 1200 acres in size offering cabins, RV sites, group camping, a community center, picnic areas and lake swimming.

We might have a new park supervisor. Caught this one out on the trail a few days ago.
Hit us in the comments with some fun names for this critter!

Well, well, look who’s holdin’ court at Lake Wister State Park.

That there’s a certified tree-top supervisor. Watches the trails, keeps an eye on the campers and makes sure folks are mindin’ their manners.

And before you ask — no, he doesn't need your snacks.

These little fellas are professionals at findin’ their own groceries. One of the easiest ways we can follow Leave No Trace in our state parks is by letting wildlife stay wild, which means admirin’ from a distance and skip the handouts.

Trust ol' Uncle Cedar — a squirrel that works for a living will out-forage your trail mix anyway.

So enjoy the view, snap a photo and let Wister’s smallest park ranger keep doing his thing. 🌲🐿️
