Boiling Springs State Park Just a 30-minute drive from Alabaster Caverns is Boiling Springs State Park, an off-the-beaten-path park located near Woodward. This beautiful space is another one of Oklahoma’s original seven state parks, and the area beckons outdoor enthusiasts with a host of recreational activities, including hiking, fishing and golfing. One of the main draws to this oasis on the plains is its namesake attraction, a “boiling” spring that still flows today just outside the park office. Water rising rapidly from underground streams creates the appearance of boiling water at the surface. The park offers RV, cabin and tent sites that can be reserved online. Each cabin includes queen or twin-size beds with linens, a sleeper sofa, heat, air and a well-supplied kitchenette. Boiling Springs is home to an abundance of wildlife in its peaceful surroundings, such as deer, bobcats, coyotes, badgers and rabbits. Take the family out for a group hike on one or more of the five wooded trails, including Whitetail Trail and Scout Trail , and try spotting some of these animals. In the summer, kids can cool off at the swimming pool or try their hand fishing in the spring-fed Shaul Lake . Golfers will also enjoy the private 18-hole course adjacent to the park.
