Keystone State Park
The centerpiece of this park is Keystone Lake. Visit the Pier 51 Marina to rent a fishing boat or pontoon, or fuel up your own boat.

Each cabin has a fireplace, coffeemaker, DirecTV, refrigerator and microwave. You can dine at the park's on-site restaurant, head into Sand Springs, or bring groceries and use the community center's kitchen. Two of the cabins have in-unit Jacuzzi tubs.
