When I was a Kid in the 80s we lived in Yukon and had a camper so would visit a different park each weekend during summers for years and Greenleaf was one of our favorites

I wasn't expecting much when I drove into Greenleaf on a Saturday morning in April, but I was wrong. It's a very nice park that offers a surprising amount of seclusion. Thanks for watching!

50 years ago, I took a day trip to a park that I thought was in NE Oklahoma that had an elevated view above a river gorge. I'll never forget how beautiful it was. But I've never found it again. I'm 75 and live in Kansas City now. Can someone help me refind this spot?

Thanks for watching and commenting! The thumbnail on this video was taken at Osage Hills State Park. Keystone State Park is right along the Arkansas River. Natural Falls State Park looks down into a gorge, but it's more a creek than a river. All of those are in NE Oklahoma. You can check out more videos from each of those parks in my Trip #18 playlist.

I hiked Greenleaf before and it’s a very under appreciated park and lake. A hidden gem.

I agree. I drove in there last April not sure what to expect, but I had a nice hike. It feels much more remote and secluded than it really is.

Great video and solid rankings! Thanks for posting. I’m curious why Spavinaw State Park wasn’t reviewed? I just went here yesterday for the first time since I was a child. It’s a great little park with a disc golf course and a great swimming/fishing creek. Not much in the way of hiking that I saw though.

Good question! Several years ago Oklahoma combined several state parks (including Spavinaw) into one state park that they called Grand Lake State Park. So Spavinaw is one of Grand Lake State Park's 9 areas now. Spavinaw has a nice location with some nice amenities but no hiking trails. Thanks for watching and asking!

We love the ranking and totally agree with you! We've never been to Natural Falls State Park and are looking forward to visiting now:)

I was hoping you'd like this video. Merry Christmas! Natural Falls is a small but excellent park with a little something for everyone; you should have a really good time there. I will release the full video for that hike after the weather warms up.

Oklahoma tourism is pricing their self out of Business. Their Charges are unreal. To go swim in a lake it cost at least $8.00s to go fishing in a boat there is day fee plus a fee to park your boat trailer. If you go in a Motor home you pay a fee to stay which is ok and you get to park your vehicle free. But if if you want friends to visit you it will cost them a fee of $8.00s per car per day. Oklahoma tourism Sucks

It is! Grand Lake State Park is a great place to go if you want to boat or fish on the lake.
