Lake Wister State Park, Oklahoma

 Located near the town of Wister, Lake Wister State Park is a family activity park that is fun for everyone both young and old. The park is situated by the Wister Wildlife Management Area, and near to the Ouachita National Forest so you feel like you are one with the outdoors.

 Kids will love the swimming beach, nature center, playgrounds, mini golf, and what makes Lake Wister State Park unique-a water splash park to cool off on a hot afternoon.

 Boating, jet skiing, water skiing, fishing, and all the fun things to do on the water are very popular on Lake Wister. If getting wet isn't your idea of fun, hiking trails, biking, mini golf, volley ball, and Cabins with a nice cozy fireplace are waiting for you. Lone Star Nature Trail is a very fun hike.

 RV sites are nice and lake views were common, the park is spread out along the lake shore. Quarry Island area is off by itself on a peninsula with 8 full hookup sites and great lake side views, sites like #1 (picture on left) are absolutely beautiful. Cabins are also located on Quarry Island.  Victor area is located on a twisty road about 4 miles from the main park area, the "north side" area in Victor has nice lake view sites #22 & 23 are nice and #45 has a private door side view. Ward RV area is only open Memorial Day-Labor Day, the sites are not paved, and it is more or less an over flow area.
