Fall is a favorite time for many Oklahoma families to take advantage of the mild weather and take time to enjoy the outdoors.
If you’re looking for a day or overnight trip where you can enjoy the outdoors, autumn weather and maybe even some colorful fall foliage, one of Oklahoma’s state parks is a great option.
We made a list of all the state parks within a 2 hour drive of downtown Oklahoma City. We even included the driving distance for you, so you don’t have to do the math yourself.
Lake Thunderbird State Park – 35 minutes
Just a 35 minute drive from the heart of OKC, Lake Thunderbird State Park is a quick escape from everyday life.
Visitors can enjoy hiking, mountain biking and nature trails. There are tent and RV campgrounds available to reserve online.
Roman Nose State Park – 1 hour 14 minutes
One of the seven original Oklahoma state parks, Roman Nose State Park is just over an hour northwest of Oklahoma City.
There’s plenty to do for the whole family, including an 18-hole golf course, hiking trails, canoeing, paddle boats, mountain biking and horseback rides.
