Purtis Creek State Park is located in an area where the Wichita and Caddo Indians once roamed. Just east of the park, on private property, is a cliff over hang that was used by unknown Indians as a temporary shelter. Petroglyphs are carved into the rock walls that indicate this area was a good hunting area. This area being well populated with game caused an influx of Anglos in the early to mid-1800s. Activities include camping, picnicking, fishing, boating, and hiking. The park rents paddle boats, kayaks and canoes. Please check the Calendar of Events for Interpretive programs and tours.
