The United States of America is no stranger to remote and beautiful destinations, and Oklahoma is no exception. Located near the New Mexico border at the tip of the Panhandle nearly six hours from Oklahoma City is Black Mesa State Park. Marking the meeting point between the Rocky Mountains and the shortgrass prairie, this is easily one of Oklahoma’s most remote state parks, and we can’t get enough. Found within this state park is the often overlooked Lake Carl Etling, an off-the-beaten-path spot we’d love to share with you today.
