Fort Supply Lake lies on Wolf Creek in Woodward County and covers 1,800 acres. It provides a clear focus on nature; landscapes, cultural history and events offer further highlights for planning your trip. You can decide whether to focus mainly on water and trails, historical topics or an event date.

Landscapes, Springs and Trails

The Hal and Fern Cooper Wildlife Management Area covers 16,120 acres in northwestern Woodward County and southern Harper County. Its area is almost nine times that of Fort Supply Lake. The two figures give different perspectives on the landscape: here, a lake on Wolf Creek; there, an area that extends across parts of two counties.

At Boiling Springs State Park, you can see a natural spring that continues to flow, accessible within a wooden shelter and an information center. The park’s trail system includes five hiking and mountain biking trails of varying lengths. The different lengths and the choice between hiking and mountain biking give you practical points of reference for including the park in your trip plans according to your interests.

Boiling Springs Golf Club offers a different impression of the landscape: the course is approximately 6,500 yards long and features native trees, dogleg fairways, and sand and water hazards. The length is an approximate figure; the trees and hazards shape the description of the course.

History and Special Places

Fort Supply Historic Site includes five original buildings and a replica of the 1868 log cabin. Important for your planning: the historic site is closed until further notice. Check its status again when planning a trip. Fort Supply was established on November 18, 1868, as Camp of Supply for a winter campaign against the Southern Plains Indians. The founding date connects the town’s history with the log cabin replica.

Woodward Arts Theatre is also a historic attraction in Woodward County. The building dates from the 1920s and was restored by volunteers in 1981. At the Plains Indians & Pioneers Museum, immersive displays of a typical frontier town—with a bank, saloon, jail and newspaper office—offer further historical topics. Together, the theater’s history and the frontier town displays represent different cultural highlights.

Alabaster Caverns State Park adds geology to the mix: it is home to the only gypsum show cave in the United States. Tours of Alabaster Cavern begin every hour on the hour daily, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. As schedules can change, check the tour times for your visit. The park also maintains four caves specifically for wild caving; they are between 550 and 1,600 feet long. If you’re planning this activity, confirm in advance whether it is currently available and what seasonal rules apply.

Events in Your Itinerary

The Woodward County Free Fair takes place annually and brings together agriculture, young people’s achievements, family entertainment and community life. The program includes livestock shows, agricultural exhibits, arts and crafts displays, educational offerings, commercial vendor booths and various family-friendly activities. A visit during the fair is therefore different from a trip focused on landscapes or cultural history.

Woodward Fall-A-Days is a popular autumn tradition in northwestern Oklahoma. In 2026, the event is scheduled for October 23–25. Offerings include vendor booths featuring food, handmade goods, seasonal decorations, special gifts and specialty products. If you want to plan your trip around the event, take the event dates into account.
