Description

Lake Eufaula, Oklahoma's largest lake covering 102,000 acres and featuring 600 miles of shoreline, is located between Muskogee and McAlester and to the south of I-40. Activities include boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, hunting, golfing, horseback riding and more. Picnic areas are scattered throughout the area. Nature trails not only offer hiking, but provide a setting for watchable wildlife. Facilities include marinas, boat ramps, swim beaches, tent and RV campsites, cabins, group shelters, restrooms, showers and an enclosed fishing dock. A well-known tournament lake, Lake Eufaula draws anglers from across the United States to test their skills at catching largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, Kentucky bass, crappie, catfish, sandbass, stripers (below the dam), and other species. Public hunting areas consist of more than 31,800 acres and offer deer, bobwhite quail, cottontail rabbit, squirrel, duck, goose and mourning dove. Two state parks--Arrowhead and Lake Eufaula--provide recreational activities and camping facilities. Although water recreation is the focus in the Lake Eufaula area today, the area still maintains its historic aura, from the pre-1900 downtown Eufaula business district and the Katy Railroad, which played a role in the colorful history surrounding such notorious characters as Belle Starr, the Youngers and the James brothers, to Standing Rock, a landmark rock which stood 63 ft above the Canadian River and was regarded by early explorers and residents as a prime fishing spot (today it lies beneath the waters of the lake).

From James William Wilson on 08/08/2010

Back in mid '70s. My grandparents built a house in a subdivision called Leisure Heights just off one of the fingers of Lake Eufaula just east of US Hwy 69. During the summertime, I knew when it was time to take that long 13 hour trip from Northern Illinois to go see my grandmother down at the lake. In 2005, when Grandma Cora past away.The Wilson family drove down from Ft. Gibson National Cemetery back to the lake. We got to the house, were thinking about the great times we had, and we just started hugging each other and crying. As for me, I remember all of the great memories at the house, and on lake when I was growing up. I would like to come back, and maybe take my future girlfriend down here sometime. Let her experience on how beautiful and peaceful it can be.
