About Great Plains State Park

Great Plains State Park sits in southwestern Oklahoma, south of Hobart, in the foothills of the Wichita Mountains. Visitors can ride mountain bike trails over rough, rocky terrain, walk hiking routes, and climb on granite boulders. The park borders Tom Steed Lake, which offers swimming at a beach, boat ramps, fishing for catfish, bass, and crappie, and room for skiing. Campers can choose RV or tent sites, some with hookups, and picnic areas, a playground, and an old 1904 gold mine site add to the visit. The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge lies only a few miles away for day trips.
