Nature
Tallgrass prairie, woodlands and lake make Eisenhower State Park a special place.
Rare remnants of the tallgrass prairie end at rocky shoreline bluffs and woodlands. Colorful wildflowers bloom throughout the growing season, March to November.
A wide variety of trees grow here, including oak, ash, elm, cedar, dogwood, cottonwood, soapberry, locust, redbud, persimmon and bois d'arc.
Watch for wildlife in the park. You may spot armadillos, bats, beavers, coyotes, deer, foxes, opossums, rabbits, bobcats, raccoons, squirrels, tarantulas and roadrunners.
Birders should be on the lookout for wintering bald eagles, pelicans, loons and other waterfowl.
Lake Texoma offers a variety of bass, sunfish and catfish.
Look for a display of lake fossils around park headquarters.
