At the Keystone Ancient Forest you'll hike amidst a classic Oklahoma cross timbers forest with 500-year-old cedars and 300-year-old post oak trees. Come out and take in all that this magnificent forest has to offer inside a 1,380 acre nature preserve listed by The Nature Conservancy as one of the last great places on earth!
Deer, mountain lion, bobcat, American eagles, migratory birds, and over 80 varied species of butterflies inhabit this place. So enjoy, but please leave only footprints during your hike.
HOURS OF OPERATIONS : Open Thursday 7am-2pm, Friday-Sunday 7am-6pm
Property is locked promptly at closing time.
Dogs are allowed the 1st weekend & 3rd weekend of each month. Please pick up pet waste baggies provided, and a 6 ft leash is required at all times.

Trail Ambassadors
Volunteer trail ambassadors help staff, monitor the parking lot, and hike the trails offering information and assistance. You can hike alone, or if there are enough trail guides available and you choose to, someone may hike with you to help interpret the forest landscape and this interpretative project in the making!
Guidelines
No reservations are needed. Pets are allowed on select hike with your dog days. Wear comfortable hiking attire, sun screen, and bug spray if you would like.
