Raymond Gary State
Park, Oklahoma
Located near Fort
Towson, Raymond Gary
State park is named
after Oklahoma's
first Governor to be
born in Oklahoma
since statehood,
Raymond D. Gary. The
park is small but
located in a very
scenic part of the
state in the
southeast corner,
close to the Texas
border.
Raymond
Gary State Park has
a small 390 acre
lake for fishing,
swimming, and slow
boating. Cabins with
a lakeside view look
very nice to stay in
and enjoy a
fireplace glow. A
Handicap
accessible fishing
dock is also located
on Lake Raymond
Gary.
Canoes,
Paddleboats and Jon
boats can all be
rented and the lake
has a speed limit so
a relaxing time on
the lake is
possible.
The
RV area does have 10
full hookup sites
and 9 with
semi-modern hookups.
The park is very
quiet and it seems
as though few
people know it even exists.
Tent sites are
located throughout
the park, and peace
and quiet should not
be a problem.
