Review:
In prehistoric times Oklahoma was covered by a vast ocean; when you take a day trip to the Great Salt Plains State Park you will be visiting one of the most unique state parks in the country, where huge barren salt flats cover the earth and the lake is almost as salty as an ocean. In this vast white expanse visitors can go hiking and biking, swim in the lake, take a horse-back ride (you need to bring your own horses) or enjoy a day of fishing and boating. The lake is also ideal for canoeing or kayaking and avid gemologists can visit the selenite crystal dig site in the adjacent Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge.
