Lake Eufaula State
Park, Oklahoma
Located between
Eufaula and
Checotah
Oklahoma, home town
of
Carrie Underwood,
Lake Eufaula is
Oklahoma's largest
Lake. The lake was
formed in 1964 and
President Lyndon B.
Johnson
dedicated Eufaula
Dam.
Lake Eufaula State
Park is a boating
paradise and has a
nearby marina. One
of our favorite
things is the small
nature center and
the activities for
the kids. Hiking
Trails are nice and
located throughout
the park. A golf
course, air strip,
stables, indoor
fishing dock and
swimming beach are
also located in the
park.
The
state park is
surrounded by the
lake and is spread
out with several RV
sites having lake
views. Deep Fork and
Lake View Circle
areas are the most
popular RV sites.
Famous
outlaw Belle Star's
grave is located
just north of
Eufaula Dam,
and Frank & Jesse
James have a history
in the area well.
Civil
war history buffs
need to see
Honey Springs
Battlefield
located just outside
Checotah. The Battle
of Honey Springs was
the largest battle
to take place in
Indian Territory.
The next battle
reenactment will be
held September 27-28
2008.
Eufaula
celebrates
Whole Hawg Days
every summer with
car shows, a parade,
and other fun
festivities. July
25th-27th 2013.
Arrowhead
State Park is
located o the South
of Eufaula State
Park.
Oh,
I almost forgot to
mention the fishing
is also excellent on
Lake Eufaula and
that several state
record fish have
been caught in it's
waters.
