Osage Hills State Park, Oklahoma

 Located near Bartlesville Oklahoma, Osage Hills State Park offers up a peaceful slice of nature.

 We enjoy this park for many reasons, but ironically its location is the number one reason. Nearby attractions like Woolaroc and The Tall Grass Prairie make Osage Hills a great base for family fun and education. Also close by in the historic town of Dewey is the Tom Mix museum, Dewey Hotel Museum, and Prairie Song. They celebrate the Tom Mix Festival yearly . The Tom Mix Festival and Prairie Song Wild West Show are can't miss events and will be held September.

 The park has great hiking trails, a swimming pool, a large playground for the kids, and some excellent fishing. 12 ft. row boats can be rented from the park office to help your fishing or wildlife viewing experience.

 There are nice little waterfalls along "Falls Trail", bring your camera and enjoy the hike. Bluffs make a nice view point off the Cedar Loop Trail.

 The Osage Hills Mountain Bike Trail is very popular and is maintained by Adventure Bicycle Center in nearby Bartlesville. Maps of the Mountain Bike Trail system are available in the Park Office, also check schedule for races on the trail.

 Many areas have wildlife viewing opportunities, especially the wild Turkey population near the park office.

 RV camping is nice and peaceful, with 20 semi-modern sites. We really like "G" "H" and "I" RV sites; and all are first come first serve, no reservations. "C" and "O" RV sites are pull thru. The park has cabins, Group camp, and a nice tent area.
