Love this lake! Wish it was a swimming lake but that would be my only complaint! That and how busy it's gotten here lately but that comes with the growing population in this town I guess LOL. I've lived here since I was in third grade and I'm now 30. I love to go and just sit and watch the wildlife and look at the beautiful lake and scenery and just relax, my husband loves loves loves to go there to fish with my youngest son. They love to go to the damn walk on, it walk on the back side where you can go down and explore and fish. It's just amazing. We haven't even tried all that extra activities they've just recently started doing there so six stars if I could now that they started that stuff. 👍👍🥰🥰 **Update** I now LOVE fishing as well 😂

It’s a wonderful place for walking, picnicking, fishing, kayaking and other activities.. It’s calm and peaceful The view is beautiful and stunning specially when you watch the sunset.. You can have lunch with your friends or family on the benches while listening to the birds whispering and the sound of the water..

My first visit and this place was so serene. I was there with my friend just walking, talking and it was peaceful. Very pocket friendly and family friendly. Fishing is allowed however I don't know if you need a license. This place is definitely a historic building. I think the city should invest in cleaning it up and taking down the hornets nests. Definitely a place with historical value.

Lovely place to walk. Felt relatively safe. Neat experience to be able to walk over the dam. Lots of turtles to look at along the dam pathway. Seemed like there were multiple good fishing spots as well.

Great quiet place to watch the water and wild life! Ducks, sea gulls, pelicans, fish etc. Its winter so not much going on. Visit the Farmers Coop on the north side. The actual kids park and skate park are very nice.

Beautiful place to walk and observe natural beauty!! Great place to fish!

Quiet & clean. I'm new to area & can't wait to try kayaking. Love being able to have coffee & swing in the shade lol

Love overholster park. Especially at night on the dam it can be a romantic walk.

I love this lake. Been coming here since i can even remember. A great place for fresh air and a gorgeous view. A nice little park now too. And not saying I have, or haven't, but I'm betting it's pretty romantic, and with good timing, some nice mostly private spots to duck off in. You know😉😎

Enjoy coming here from walking to the scenery. Pet friendly, fishing enjoyable around the lake. Picnicing or pavilion available along with a small play area for children. Paved walking, jogging, biking path that one can enjoy from the Bethany area all the way to OKC if a long bike ride is in order. Riversports also gives access to paddleboards or kayaking or take your own and enjoy a leisurely paddle on the Canadian River for the day or just an hour. A must visit.

I only stayed on one side of the lake, but it was quiet, and the trail was clean. There is some trash in the water along the edge, but it's not too bad. I didn't stay long, nor did I go far since it was a nippy that day. The houses along the trail were nice to look at while walking.

Absolutely beautiful and serene... love the bridge...

I love going to Lake Overholser! Such a beautiful view and enjoy watching the variety of birds.

Love Lake olverholser... I've been going there since I was a kid and will continue to go there as long as I'm in Oklahoma

Good place to enjoy nature, silence, walking, fishing and kids play.

Like going here like to fish and watch the scenery and watch the sunset with my man

Short drive to relax and escape the sounds of the city. I love it here!

Love to get my dog and grab my fishing pole when I go out here. There are spots where you can toss your line in the water and take a couple of steps back into the front seat of your vehicle and just chill.

Had fun exploring hidden areas around the lake and walking along the dam.

Had a great time with by absolute besti and p a r nter Tiffany! Check it out if you like walking around nature

Nice, quiet place. Turtles all over the place. It was very nice that you could walk over the old dam. I'm not sure how safe it would be at night, but I felt safe during the day. Would have been 5 stars, but they could really clean the place up and get rid of some of the wasp nests.

Great place to walk and read. But, watch out for those looking to start trouble.

Just ok. Nice drop down area to drive down to an easy area to unload by the lake. So very windy tho

Beautiful place to drive around, ride your bike, ride your motorcycle, watch the Dam release, fish, ect. It's beautiful at night.

This is a very nice area. There are lots of wildlife and fish (ducks, geese, beaver, catfish, turtles, carp, and heron). The park is pretty clean, but there is some trash that either blew from cars or nearby homes. We tried to pick up the water bottles and plastic bags that were close to the water. If you have children, there is a playground area close to the Route 66 area. Overall, we had a nice time. If you go in the warmer months, make sure to bring some water.

I love spending time there with my love one 😻

If you are wanting to go for a walk, fish, or bike this is a nice place to visit.

Beautiful place. I spend many nights out here personally. Usually I bring my kayak and enjoy some fishing (though I'm not very good) Excellent place for family and friends looking to get out and enjoy nature. There is hiking trails behind the dam if you're looking to explore or adventure. The scenery of the dam is beautiful however as long as you can work past the spider webs. I highly recommend for anyone looking to relax and let go for a time or two.

Good place to relax and have a nice quiet drive

Nature😁😍😘

Pretty plain

We enjoyed a nice day driving around the lake. We haven't been here in three years. It was much cleaner than it used to be.

Very cool place

Great place to walk, run, bike or just enjoy the views and the park. Awesome nature and gorgeous views!!

It's sad to see the condition that it's in. You use to be cleaner.

Beautiful and clean.

Beautiful serene bird sanctuary

Very peaceful

Fun place to fish nice and clean

Nice park with am array of wild life.. turtles, water fowl galore. 3 stars cause there's litter EVERYWHERE!!! Was pretty upset seeing hundreds of turtles swimming in filth.

Beautiful scenery and lots of paved and dirt trails.

I love to take a nice drive around the lake, something different to see each time.

Great place to just cruise on your bike, fish, or take a kayak or boating. The great place to take the family. Achieving got some great Trails for walking. I have a good time up there just riding around on my bike.

Peaceful and quiet. Great place to spend a Sunday afternoon

Spent the morning at the park watching the sun rise as I awaited the time to head on to work. Quiet and peaceful, and the sound of the water rushing out of the spill gates cannot be beat for relaxation.

Love living close to Overholser lake. It's always beautiful and peaceful when the sun set... Great fishing also.

Cool place with lots of family stuff to do.

I have enjoyed coming to this lake for over 40 years. I find it to be peaceful and enjoyable , here are some night photos I've captured recently while there.

I have always loved this lake. We drive around it any chance we get.

Great place to do family time and my kids love to fish here.

Good place for the family

I live taking pics here!

Great place to work out or relax

Nice

Beautiful spot to relax

Like to drive around and look for the perfect spot.

Fun bike riding place.

One thumb up

Nice day .good place to walk dog

Beautiful place to ride a bike or take a walk beautiful view very romantic

Beautiful

The ducks&geese are beautiful, especially when u see them gliding across the water so, effortlessly. Me&my family love&respect nature&we find hidden gems and beauties in everything we see,&on a daily too! Stay positive out there yall!!🤞🤞🤞🤞💬😁

Love the lake

We went to the Route 66 Park. It is a pretty well kept park, large playground with plenty of space to run around. It's not disability friendly however. Looks like there is a small go-cart track as well but I didnt get closer to find out. There is an ice cream truck that regularly comes by. Plenty of ducks/geese and birds to feed but there isn't any benches by the water. Definitely dont leave your food unattended or else the birds will come help themselves!

So pretty. Great paved trail

Nice park with a good area to ride bikes or walk.

Nice lunch break, watching the large pelicans feeding, in the W. NW corner.

Nature at it's finest. Very pretty area and a paved bike path. Just watch out for the prima donna bicyclists, they hate it when you're in the way slowing them down. Beautiful lake but it seems to hold only 5 to 10 fish. Hard to catch a fish here.

Today was beautiful. The grounds were dirty but considering the 9virus I am sure park maintenance is scarce and should be. We saw a family if ducks and a small crane. Wow the cranes legs are super skinny. The park was nice in the beautiful weather that was pleasant but not too hot. Very relaxing

We love to go walk here very peaceful and happy place to b

I was fishing at Lake Overholser and this looks like Route 66 Park & Ampitheater which is a terrific place to visit also. If fishing, a state license & daily permit required for ages 16 & up. Dogs should be on a leash. Follow the rules and have fun!

It was very relaxing

Love it here. Safe fishing. And a long walking/running trail. Also a nice place to watch the beautiful sunset. And a wonderful, beautiful place to take endless pictures.

I have lived in OKC for over 20 years and have never been to Lake Overholser. It is a beautiful make with lots of areas to stop and just relax and take in the scenery. Lots of people were out fishing. It made for a nice Saturday afternoon drive.

Love to be there when the sun sets. What a beautiful site

Safe place for my friends and family as far as I know. I like the Overholser area. Diversity and safety for the most part. There was a creepy old man riding an expensive looking bike who verbally assaulted us while we were reading from The Bible. Cops were nicer than him when they showed up.

I really enjoyed my early morning hike this morning, really nice flora and fauna, plenty of good fishing, I saw some beautiful wildlife in the wetland trail, but do take care whilst walking over some of the older timbers, however at the Route 66 Amphitheater, there was rubbish strewn, which looked very unsightly, I shouldn't moan but how easy is it to take your trash back with you?

Awesome place to jog

Very Peaceful. Quiet Plenty Of Shade My Kids Loved It.

Beautiful place to enjoy nature.

Love this lake

Great place to just chill. There are places that could use some clean up though.

Great spot to watch sun rises and sunsets

One of my favorite places to hangout and drink a beer with friends

Great little piece of nature in city

Amazing place to bbq, fish, play, have picnics. Etc

Always relaxing place.. just say no to trump

Good!!!

Beautiful views.

This place is so beautiful at sunset I dont want to leave.

Nicr

Was great learning experience for kids. So many was to expand into other teaching moments. After further studies at home, we will be back.

Beautiful views for people who love the outdoors and fishing.
