Lake Thunderbird State Park
Lake Thunderbird State Park encompasses nearly 2,000 acres in Cleveland County, Oklahoma, and provides a variety of recreational opportunities for visitors to Lake Thunderbird. Water enthusiasts can enjoy two marinas, nine boat ramps and two swim beaches, while those who prefer land can take part in hiking, mountain biking and nature trails. Deer archery and waterfowl hunting are available during the applicable seasons and in designated areas.
For families visiting the state park, grab a picnic lunch and enjoy the playgrounds or dine at the seasonal restaurant. The state park also features a Nature Center, which displays native snakes and animals, furs and artifacts and offers educational programs throughout the year.
