Most scenic spot in OKC. South side is natural and tree-filled. East side is great for recreation and features several awesome restaurants . Hefner GC on SW side of lake is a good spot for a round.

Roman Thomas

Great place to hang out with the family. Rent a travel trailer and have a nice place to rest, cool down, cook some food and enjoy the view . Read more

It looks amazing, but if you feel cold to quick is not a good recommendation 😅 anyway is a good family place

Thom Collins

Best place to find THE TRUE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE of GOD. On a sunny day JC has been known to drop by as well . Reading scriptures, listening to praise and worship and/or just praying IS AWESOME

Julie Workman

The lake and trails are great, but I don't feel I can take my little ones out there due to the many rude and some times dangerous people that you find on bikes and rollerblades .

DJ Ku Rx

Nice chill place with trails and a nice dining selection.

Darshel Lanette

I love exercising at the lake , but have to watch out for all of the duck poop on the walking trails .

Did you know? Before the lake was built in 1947, the area was part of an 1889 homestead called Spring Creek Township. Some building foundations are still visible at times. Read more

The lake was built in 1947. If you plan on running the entire lake plan on running at least 9 miles. Read more

A great place to walk. Make sure to stop at the lighthouse and take a pic at sunset

ride around the entire lake ! It's ten miles but it's totally doable.

Leslie Driskill

Great source of tap water . Lots of feral cats. Nice sunsets .

Kari Douglas

So glade the water has risen...stay focused when running or walking, cause the resturants are smelling to good...lol

Bike and walking paths merge in spots. Riders, heads up. Walkers, look b4 you swerve.

Marta Schenk

Beautiful sunrises n' sunsets

Nicole Lawson

Beautiful place! Love the serene scenery.

Kyle Elrod

Not a bad lake . The city stole a bunch of water and killed the town of Canton for no reason to fill it... right before the rainy season... and floods... without doing any other water conservation...

Marta Schenk

Peace of mind

Linda Thompson

Watching the sunset is wonderful here.

Katelyn Ogle
