Highly recommend for an hour or two break from Lake Texoma. President Eisenhower’s boyhood home is intact and you can view through the windows-each room has a story printed in view. History is always special to me, but free history is even better.

You must pay to enter the state park. Very beautiful state park on the shores of Lake Texoma. They have a lighted fishing pier, Marina with private slips for monthly rental and dockominiums for purchase. There are hiking trails and trails for horseback riding. They also have camping pots for RV's, tents, etc. They have a small store with fuel docks where you can rent paddleboats or kayaks. Be careful of the deer....we saw a cute family with a Baby, but they were standing in the road near the marinas at dusk! Abundant wildlife...tranquil and serene.
