This area was once an Osage Indian settlement. The 1100 acre park offers picnic tables, shelters, RV campsites, cabins swimming pool, hiking and biking trails, ballfield, playgrounds, and tennis court. Lookout Lake and Sand Creek are available for fishing. During the Depression of the 1930's times were hard. Jobs were scarce. In 1933, under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Civilian Conservation Corps was created. The chief purposes of the CCC were to provide jobs and job training and to conserve the nation's resources. For $30 each month ($25 of which was sent home) over 2 million men and boys across the country worked to slow erosion; replant forests; build dams, bridges, buildings, and parks; build 126,000 miles of roads and trails; and install 89,000 miles of telephoe lines. Osage Hills State Park was built by CCC Company 895 between 1936 and 1940. There are still remains of the CCC Camp. The buildings and bridges in the park were built out of native sandstone and are still in use.

"Bug Me" #4 Letterbox can be found off the Picnic Shelter and Swimming Pool road. Look for the large rock structure across the road from the picnic shelter (old bathroom/shower house facility). Go to the cedar tree at the south end of the structure. Look uphill (west) and head towards the large brown rock with the perfect round hole in the top (home of the letterbox). Watch out for the 2 big rocks in front of your destination.

A stamp pad is not available.
