Experience the April 2024 Eclipse at Oklahoma State Parks
The Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department (OTRD) is reminding Oklahomans and out-of-state travelers to secure their lodging accommodations at an Oklahoma State Park to view the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, as many sites are filling up quickly.
“The upcoming 2024 eclipse is a really exciting time to visit Oklahoma,” said Shelley Zumwalt, Executive Director of OTRD. “With a limited number of spots remaining at several state parks with 100% totality, those interested in having a clear view of the sky need to act quickly to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
After the 2024 eclipse, the next total solar eclipse won’t be visible from the contiguous United States until 2044.
Oklahoma state parks with 100% totality for the solar eclipse are:
- Beavers Bend State Park
- Length of totality: 4 minutes and 15 seconds
- Talimena State Park
- Length of totality: 1 minute and 38 seconds
- Lake Wister State Park
