Lonely Planet review for Will Rogers State Park

Rugged but small, this park sprawls across ranch land once owned by Will Rogers (1875–1935), an Oklahoma-born cowboy turned humorist, radio-show host and movie star. In the late '20s he traded his Beverly Hills manse for a 31-room ranch house and lived here until his tragic 1935 death by plane crash. Following extensive renovations, guided tours allow you to again nose around the Western art and Native American rugs and baskets and marvel at the porch swing right in the living room.

    Very scenic and Will Rogers' house is fantastic

    ridermike recommends this,

    I was skeptical about checking this place out, thinking it was "just another park", but it's much more. Parking is a little expensive, $12/car, but if you're willing to walk a few hundred meters, you can park on the first residential road before getting to the park itself. Be sure to take the tour of Will Rogers' estate. Unfortunately they don't permit you to take photos inside. Also take the ~2 km walk along the trail to Inspiration Point (ask anyone who works there where it is and how to get it) because that's worth your time, too.
