KEYSTONE STATE PARK HISTORY
Keystone State Park was established in 1966 and contains 715 acres of land that is leased by the U.S. Corps of Engineers to the State of Oklahoma. The park is located 10 miles west of Sand Springs on US 412, then one-half mile south on Keystone Dam Road (State Hwy 151). The lake, with its wooded shorelines, high bluffs and low rolling hills has 26,300 surface acres and 330 miles of shoreline.
Keystone Lake was named for the community of Keystone. The original site of the community, inundated by the waters of the lake, was in a key position at the juncture of the Cimarron and Arkansas Rivers. The land between the Arkansas and the Cimarron Rivers was called Triangle Country by early-day residents. The region was originally homeland for the Osage Indian Tribe. During the 1830s the U.S. Government relocated Creek and Cherokee Indians to this area.
In 1832, the noted American author Washington Irving visited this area. Irving tells of his overnight camp in Bear’s Glen (3 miles north of Keystone Dam) in his book A Tour on the Prairies.
In 1834, Old Fort Arbuckle was established where the dam now stands. It was one of several outposts set up by General Leavenworth to stop warfare between the Indian tribes.
The Battle of Round Mountain, the first Civil War battle fought in Indian territory, occurred five miles south of Keystone State Park.
