Watonga is home to gorgeous Roman Nose State Park. One of Oklahoma’s original seven state parks, Roman Nose State Park takes its name from a Cheyenne Chief and is set amidst a beautiful canyon with exceptional recreation activities. Amenities include an 18-hole golf course, swimming pools, hiking trails, two lakes, horse stables and even seasonal trout fishing.
Stay in one of the park’s cabins or head to the renovated lodge for exquisite guest rooms and an on-site restaurant. When you’re ready to venture out of the park, test out your luck at the Lucky Star Casino Watonga or explore local history at the T.B. Ferguson Home. Watonga is also home to Whirlwind Winery, which produces all of its wines from locally-grown grapes and fruit.
