Description
Roman Nose State Park Entrance by Debra Martz
Roman Nose State Park, named after a Cheyenne Chief, is located in the North/NorthWestern part of Oklahoma about 7 miles from Watonga. It was one of the original 7 Oklahoma State Parks which were constructed by the CCC and opened to the public in 1937. There are several campgrounds, cabins and a lodge with activities such as fishing in two lakes, trails to natural springs and a swimming pool for those hot summer months.
From The Sign After Entering the Park: "Henry Roman Nose - 1856~1917 - Cheyenne Chief Henry Roman Nose for whom this State Park was named originally owned this 600 acre tract which comprised his allotment. His campground was located about 50 yards north of here. His grave is one-half mile west of Watonga. Roman Nose State Park was opened May 16, 1937."
