This lake and just like most lakes are run by communist. You buy a fishing license which money from the purchase of fishing license is supposed to go to help stock fish and for the upkeep of parks in Oklahoma, but yet you have to pay to go to the parks in Oklahoma to park and fish. Who ever is in charge of this have to be involved with the democratic party. Oklahoma is NOT a conservative state, they are dressed up like Republicans but underneath they are COMMUNIST. If you have to pay to fish, then why do we need to buy a fishing license. Stop the communism in Oklahoma

The lake itself is very nice. There is plenty of seating and beautiful scenery. The bathrooms need a lot of work. You would think they would have cleaned them before the holiday weekend but nope. The women's bathroom only had 1 working stall. The other stall was full and didnt flush. Bring Clorox wipes, flushable wipes or tissue and hand sanitizer because the sinks didnt work.

This park is one of my favorite places to take pictures of sunsets and sunrises.

Great little close to home fishing spot. Definitely bring the sunscreen. Several little coves for fishing and swimming. Only issue I've had is the ridiculous amount of trash left by inconsiderate jerks.

Everything was amazing other than getting rained out and wasn't able to continue our camping adventure due to the park flooding..

My time here was mostly pleasant. The price per day for a primitive campsite located on the lakefront was only $25. The checkout time was a cozy 5:00 in the afternoon. The quality of the campgrounds and lake themselves were fine. It all was about as clean as one would realistically hope for. Some garbage blown in and around by the wind is unavoidable, and groundskeepers seem to do a good job of disposing of what little there is. The shorelines had a refreshing lack of broken glass and dead, decaying fish, which is more than I can say for some other lakes I've been to in recent years (Looking at you, Lake Meredith in the Texas panhandle). There wasn't a burn ban even though the wildfire risk was considered moderately high at the point in time, which was nice. Firewood is sold on site, though I'm unsure of the cost. We bought ours elsewhere beforehand. The absolute biggest negative here is that this place is located so close next to town. This means obnoxious, inconsiderate riffraff is bound to be a problem from time to time. During our Friday to Monday stay, all was fine except on Saturday, when our campsite had the misfortune of being located between two others that were occupied by loud, partying twenty-somethings who blared their music and shouted to one another until they eventually drunkenly passed out a few hours before dawn. At one point around 3:00 in the morning at one of these neighboring campsites, a bit of a kerfuffle broke out between a few of these people. This naturally lead to one of them bragging about having a loaded gun on them, along with their total lack of any issue with using it to violently end their petty argument if that's what it came down to, which it thankfully didn't. Just charming behavior all around while you're trying to sleep in a tent thirty feet away. Other than these societal bottom feeders, we camped near pleasant families and people whose campsites were ghost towns outside of normal sleeping hours due to them being out boating or whatever. But yeah, by all means, camp here. Just keep the number for the local police department on hand in case you get stuck near pesky kids.

Its a nicely maintained lake that has some fish, bass fishing isn't great.

Just discovering this wonderful lake. Need to get a boat!

Favorite lake around the city to go to but it has gotten kinda trashy and not enough patrol. My husband and I love to fish there, but there is CONSTANTLY large crowds that just blare loud music and boats and watercrafts that have no respect for those by the shore. Have almost witnessed several accidents of watercrafts going too fast and almost colliding, nearly missing each other. Also the trash just piled up everywhere is sad. I hate that it has went so downhill.

Very nice 👍 and it is very inexpensive to rent a pavilion for the entire day and enjoy some family time

While the camping spot we had was beautiful I noticed A LOT of sick deer within the park. Their ears so covered in ticks that they couldn't move them. A baby with an infected eye and multiple deer that were extremely skinny. I witnessed sick and injured squirrels as well. The water has just become filthy. Staff harassed us about our dogs being off leash when they remained on tieouts the entire time we were there. They never once roamed off leash yet, we had little dogs from other campsites walking up to us multiple times. No leash, no owner. The owner only called them back once they noticed them missing. They tried to get onto us for our dogs barking but they only barked when other dogs were also barking. They also never made a sound during quiet hours. We were harassed by other guests at the lake continuously asking when we were leaving so they could take the spot we were in. I stayed there for 5 days paying $30 a night and was very disappointed with how we were treated. I grew up coming to this lake but I don't believe we will be coming back.

A very nice place to spend a day with your family specially during summer time… This lake is stunning.. You can barbecue, picnic, swim and do many other activities . Take your boat or jet ski for water activities as well.. You can feed the ducks and see the beautiful deer’s It’s a great experience with an affordable price

Beautiful area to hike. Even can do a little fishing. They try to keep it as clean as possible and it offers a few services.

I love the wildlife here. I love the hiking. In my opinion, its a nice place for day picnics and well worth the 6 bucks carload if you don't have annual pass. Save your receipt and enter thru another entrance. Lots of places to explore.

You want to be in nature? Go here. Not 5 stars because you'd assume with a fee to get in, more effort would be put forth to clean up trash or maybe have stricter littering enforcement.

Went for my daughter's 14th birthday had a blast love the spot we was in nice and shady and water was none rocky, kids had tons of fun in the sun their is kayaking and boarding rental for $15 to start and any additional hours after that is $10 each hour we all had a blast water was great and enjoyable

Great walking snd mountain biking trails, but brown water. Happy it’s around though for walking/running, being outside in nature.

This lake lacks excitement especially this time of year...It was super windy but I managed to get a few shots of the lake looking south to east and west.

I love coming here with all my boys. They love swinging around. My only complaint is that it's not patrolled more so they can get rid of the drunk unruly people. That and that they should fine all the people that leave all their trash behind. But I guess that's a tall order and has more to do with how the general public acts than the lake itself.

We camped overnight. The camp sites were in need of a trash cleanup from the past campers.

Pros: walking trails, plenty of picnic tables

Is a nice place to have very fun's activitys ,,,, i love the lake ,,,, is very safe this place.... God bless to everyone ,,
