Rogers Point Park

This is a great little park. Has a boat launch, picnic tables, a disc golf course and 8 regulation sized horseshoe pits. I posted a photo of the pits and I swear, it is not a cemetery. But with a scarcity of horseshoe players in 2023, it’s about as busy. There’s always ample parking, and whether in your car or on foot, you'll enjoy a pretty view of the river and a diversity of scenery. Few parks have this combo of interesting visuals, a slow moving river reveals huge barges quietly floating by as cars and trains cross the high bridges next to the highway. It’s not Hawaii, but there’s something attractive and peaceful about it. I think it’s fair to call this place a hidden gem, provided you can tolerate old concrete picnic tables. I’ve learned from other reviewers that apparently, these hard, crumbling, ubiquitous beasts are not beloved. Who knew? Anyhow the park is open dawn to dusk. Drive in early and park under a shade tree because you’ll probably want to stick around a while.

This park is simple with great views of the Verdigris River, easy access from the highway, two boat ramps and a floating dock to launch your kayak or canoe from.

Beautiful scenery. Good fishing. Horse shoe pitts. Picnic tables. Clean park. Only complaint is the restrooms.... definitely need to be maintained more.
