Wake Up Oklahoma

[thedivahrrrself]

Does anyone oppose Lake Eufala? It's an hour or so south of Tulsa, and it's about 2 hours east of OKC. I know there's a State Park out there, in Checotah I think. There's also lodging from what I remember.

There's also Keystone State Park, which is only about an hour and a half from OKC, and about 30 min from Tulsa. I don't think the fishing is so great there, but it's a very convenient location, and they have a little meeting building I might be able to rent for a discount.

JAGG, we are talking about the first Sunday in June from what I gather. Is everyone cool with that? APG, you're welcome to crash on my couch in Tulsa if you'd like to come down the night before. I have a brand new oven you're welcome to use as well for prepping your snackies. :-)

I asked around at work today and even though it's in OKC, most everyone said the fishing is great at Lake Overholser along with wonderful picnic areas. The fish this lake has is, Black Bass, Sand Bass, Catfish, Striped Bass, Hybrid Striped Bass, Crappie, Walleye and Saugeye.


My boss recommended Chickasaw National Recreation Area. She said it had something for everyone and thought we'd all enjoy it. So, does anyone know this place? The way she described this place to me, made me want to pack my bags and spend the summer there, lol. I'm not sure where it is or how long it would take us to get there.

Just me putting more suggestions out there to make our choices even more difficult to make.

Why oh why hasn't Okiebug chimed in.

Okiebug did PM me back and let me know the 1st weekend in June is good.

Chickasaw looks gorgeous, but it's like 3 hours from Tulsa.

I haven't had a chance to google it and see where it was. I suppose 3 hours sucks unless you're camping for the weekend there.
My boss said it was a fabulous place and that no matter where everyone was coming from, she promised it would be worth it. Did I mention, she's American Indian and proud of that place.
Her and her husband have fished there and gone exploring.
I'll have to put it on my list of places I want to see in OK.

I also want to go see Turner Falls because it has the biggest waterfall in OK

All I need is to find someone with Sundays off and wants to go exploring
It'll help if I can find them in OKC

There's a whole lot of beautiful in OK

You use to be able to swim under the fall but they took that away. I grew up going there every chance I had.

I saw the mention of Eufaula as a possible place, I'm not a huge fan of the place but if it will help more people be able to make it then I'm game.

I'm good with anywhere except it would be much nicer to be able to car pool with another if travel takes a couple hours.

It would be nice if we could come up with a place that's about 60-90 minutes of driving time for any of us. I want to have time to hang out and get to know others and still be able to fish a little if possible. Since I'm not native to OK and don't really know my way around well or what lakes and rivers could work for us as a group, I'll have to just kick back and let those that know decide what's best for us.

You can't swim under the falls anymore??? that's no fun! I used to love that place as a kid.

Fishing at Keystone sucks. Most times, all I ever caught was a snag and lost my bait, in fact my whole darn set up
The only pretty thing is the dam and all the nature that surrounds it.
