Beautiful state park near Norman, Oklahoma. Very peaceful setting. Lots of trees for shade, but also lots of mosquitoes. We stayed at Turkey Pass, which is on the south side of lake just off Highway 9. We had nice Verizon cell service there.

They definitely need more signage. You don't have to check in, which is nice, but the only way to get a map was to drive around to the visitor center on the north side.

Visit Native Spirits Winery when you're there. It was just 8 minutes from our campsite.

Hog Trail is one of the best short trails around Lake Thunderbird. Easy walking, great views, plenty of places to stop and take photos. The trees, the light, and the open water make it a perfect spot for a relaxing walk or a photo session.

Highly recommend for anyone who wants a peaceful morning outdoors.

Sunrise was so beautiful. It wasn't crowded and the trails are clearly marked. The view from the waterfront is insane. I'm looking forward to visiting again.

Very nice place to spend time with friends, family and kids. I went there with my friends and we saw thousands of small birds were flying over the lake.

Cool state park I got to stay for 2 weeks in February the staff is very nice and friendly. The trail was real nice to hike and the sunsets are beautiful. I will say there is scattered glass and small pieces of trash in the sandy areas by the water I wish it was cleaner + the bathrooms are in bad shape. Other than that it was real good staying here w my pups there are lots of squirrels and geese!
