Roman Nose State Park

Roman Nose State Park in western Oklahoma, about seven miles north of Watonga in Blaine County, is one of the original seven Oklahoma state parks. Created in 1937 by the Civilian Conservation Corps under President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, it occupies a small canyon whose wooded scenery, lakes, and recreation facilities set it apart from the surrounding plains. Named for Cheyenne chief Henry Roman Nose, who died there in 1917, the park has long centered on outdoor recreation, including trails, golf, swimming, fishing, boating, biking, camping, and lodging at Roman Nose Lodge. Its canyon also supports abundant wildlife, including deer and many bird species.
