Boiling Springs State Park
The 820 acre park offers some of the most beautiful shoreline in the state at the small, but exquisite Lake Shaul.
The park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and named for one of the several natural springs which occur within the park.
At one time these springs had the appearance of "boiling" as the sandy-bottomed spring was churned with the strong inflow of sub-surface water. Today, the springs still produce up to 100 gal/min
Park visitors can enjoy this Northwest Forest of Hackberry, Walnut, Chinaberry, Oak, and Elm tree groves. Boiling Springs State Park offers a true Oasis for Whitetail Deer, wild Turkey, Raccoon, Coyote, Bobcat, Beaver, Badger, Rabbit, Skunk, Opossum, and Humans.
The timeless waters of natural springs brought early Plains Indians to the area, then wind-whipped cowboys and weary settlers. Today, Park visitors can enjoy the spirit of the area and it's past at one of Oklahoma's first State Parks.
Located one mile North of Woodward on State Highway 34, then 5 miles East on State Highway 34C just a few minutes drive into a virtual wilderness. Discover Adventure...Make Memories and Share Treasures for Years to Come.
