Sequoyah State Park Hulbert, Okla. 2 hours east of OKC
Sequoyah State Park is home to towering trees, a spacious lodge with cozy cottages and a game room, a golf course, plenty of hiking, fishing and the Three Forks Nature Center with resident animal ambassadors, including Harry P. Otter, Bixby the beaver and more. Families can stop in to the nature center to see the educational exhibits and animals (which is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and take part in bald eagle tours, available on select days during the winter. Sequoyah Paved Trail is an easily accessible 2-mile path that connects the lodge to popular destinations within the park and is a great hike for families. Horseback trail riding is another fun way to see the park. The stable is open by reservation only during the winter months and reservations can be made by calling 918-772-3906 or by emailing sequoyahridingstables@yahoo.com. A Cowboy Camp is a fun addition to your ride with a fireside cookout and marshmallow roasting. They also offer pony rides for kids. Important note: Hiking trails will be closed the first three weeks of December for a hunting event in the park.
