When you need a break from history and culture you can make your way to Lake Murray State Park for a day of brilliant outdoor recreation. Lake Murray State Park is located across the border in Oklahoma, where it boasts over 150 miles of beautiful shoreline and a wide variety of recreational facilities. Boating enthusiasts can bring along their own craft to launch at the boat ramps or hire a pontoon at the Marina. In addition you can enjoy canoeing, kayaking and paddle-boarding or keep your feet dry and head off along one of the walking/hiking/biking trails. There are stables for equestrians who fancy some horseback riding, a golf course, tennis courts, volley ball and much more.
