Formerly known as Fountainhead State Park, Lake Eufaula State Park is a great choice for an Oklahoma getaway. Whether the stay is short or long-term, a visit to this state park is guaranteed to be memorable. The park is located just south of I-40 near Checotah, in southeastern Oklahoma. Situated on Lake Eufaula, a 102,000 acre reservoir, there are many activities available for visitors on both land and water.
On land, Oklahoma's diverse foliage and wildlife can be observed on hiking trails such as the Bluebird Trail. Visitors can bring bikes to get around the expansive park and take a ride on one of the mountain bike trails. The Deep Fork Nature Center educates visitors about native animals and plant species, and kids and adults can participate in naturalist programs and activities. For kids, the park offers many playgrounds and a fishing pond. Nearby, the18-hole Fountainhead Golf Course operated by the Muscogee Creek Nation has views of the lake, complete with a putting green and pro shop.
While there are so many things to do on land in the park, Lake Eufaula allows visitors the opportunity to play on the water. There is a swimming area with a beach, and multiple boat ramps provide easy access to the lake. Fishing is a big attraction at Lake Eufaula State Park, and a marina located in the park makes year-round fishing possible with an enclosed, heated fishing dock, as well as a tackle shop. Some of the largest fish in the state have been caught at Lake Eufaula.
Various accommodations for a stay at Lake Eufaula State Park are available. RV and tent sites are available, with hookups for water, electricity and sewer, or for just water and electricity. Comfort stations are scattered throughout the park. Ideal for meetings or family reunions, the group camp features bunkhouses that can accommodate up to 96 people.

The Christmas light display is fantastic! They have a frog that hops into the water. Loved it!
Camping was to expensive in this state park!!!!
We stayed in your park last year and enjoyed the Christmas lights so much and the host was so nice to us. This winter we planned our trip so we could stay there again. We enjoyed the lights so much and the staff was very nice to us. We'll come again.
We just got through spending a weekend there with over 160 other people. Despite the large numbers there was lots of room to spread out and the restroom facilities were kept spotless. The staff was also very helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back.
We stayed here one time two years ago. Someone came right up to our camper during the night and stole our propane tank covers. We won't camp here again.
lake eufaula state park is perfect for the family and for getting away from it all. there is a brand new nature center and updated trails for hiking, biking. plenty of playground equipment for the kids, and nice beaches for swimming. camping is quiet and serene. just a nice place. i will make this a place my kids will remember growing up in.
