Exploring Beaver Sand Dunes Park in Beaver Oklahoma

Beaver Dunes Park is in Beaver County, Oklahoma, near the city of Beaver. The 520-acre park, located in the panhandle region of Oklahoma, offers dune buggy riding, fishing, hiking trails, a playground and two campgrounds along with a one-room primitive cabin which sleeps four, a comfort station with hot showers, and a dump station. Both campgrounds have handicap accessibility. Another area of the park is the Big Sandy picnic area. This area has a sand volleyball court, basketball goal, horseshoe pits, playground, nature trail, and two reservable shelters.
The park has a paranormal history that dates back to the 1500s when 3 men traveling with the explorer Coronado disappeared from the dunes with bizarre flashes of what seemed like green lightning. Native American guides tried warning Coronado about the perils of the dunes, as they had been avoiding the area for centuries, calling it the Shaman's Portal. There is a separate legend about the area being a UFO crash site. The location, which has been compared to the Bermuda Triangle, has been referred to as “Shaman’s Portal.” Drenched in the paranormal, the dunes have been home to enough human disappearances, secret military excavations, and “Men in Black” sightings to earn it the title “Oklahoma’s Bermuda Triangle”.
The State of Oklahoma announced in 2011 that the park would be closed at the end of Summer that year as a budget-cutting measure. Laurie Anderson of Beaver, Oklahoma protested to keep it open, and on August 15, 2011, the park ownership was formally transferred to the City of Beaver.
