Robbers Cave State Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robber's Cave State Park is a state park in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It is located seven miles (10 km) north of Wilburton, Oklahoma on state highway 2. The park contains 8,200 acres (33 kmĀ²) consisting of forest and lakes. Several miles of trails are scattered throughout the park. Also, horses can be rented to follow the trails. One of the trails is northwest of the cave area and travels around Lost Lake. The park has several cabins and a lodge.

The park is known for its cave where the outlaws Belle Starr and Jesse James hid from law enforcement authorities.

A Boy Scout camp within the park was the site of Muzafer Sherif's famous Robber's Cave study on conflict resolution.
