While big parks like Yellowstone and Yosemite are understandably popular, there is something special about small state parks like Oklahoma’s Lake Eucha. This tiny gem is the perfect getaway for families, and many people have made a visit to this lovely park a familiy tradition.

Lake Eucha state park is located in the town of Jay, right along Highway 59. Visitors to this lovely small park can enjoy plenty of family friendly activities, including swimming in the great pool, playing on the well appointed playground and hiking along some of the park’s many trails.

The small size of Lake Eucha state park is part of its charm for many visitors. At just 55 acres, the park is a fraction of the size of some better known state and national parks. The park does manage to pack a lot of fun into those 55 acres, with plenty to see and do for the entire family.

The park is also available for rental, and it is home to many private activities throughout the year. Visitors can rent the entire park, the pool or both the pool and the park for private functions. The park makes an ideal destination for picnicking, boating, fishing, swimming and other outdoor activities, and it is a great place for group activities like company picnics as well. The park features many amenities to make these group gatherings easier and more fun, including covered picnic pavilions. Visitors can also enjoy a beautiful swimming pool complete with convenient changing house, along with a playground for the kids and plenty of fun nature trails for a quick hike. With so much to see and do it is hard to believe that beautiful Lake Eucha state park is so small.
