Arkansas River - Newt Graham Pool
1. Arkansas River - Newt Graham Pool
Park 14mi from Broken Arrow · 21 sites
Newt Graham Lock and Dam was built to improve the Arkansas River, but there’s fun stuff to do here, especially if you love the water! Launch your boat in the river and cast a line for some of the best bass fishing around. You can also reel in crappie, channel cats, flatheads, and sunfish—what a feast! If you’re planning to stay overnight, choose from the two camping spots near the river, especially popular with anglers. Head up to the small visitor center for great views of the river, and watch the commercial tug boat operations. You might also want to check out the nearby towns, with their quaint shops and restaurants. Newt Graham is great for a low-key, fish-filled getaway.

If you want to camp, there are a few spots to choose from along the water. Head up to the small visitor center at Lock 17 for great views, and watch the commercial tug boat captains hard at work!

With a mountain of activities and a beautiful lake to match, Fort Gibson Lake in Oklahoma is one spectacular place to spend a weekend.

Just because the fishing is famous doesn’t mean that’s all there is to do! Land-lovers have no fear, with playgrounds, hiking trails, and beautiful overlooks, there’s plenty to keep you busy! Brush up on your sketching as you observe the abundant flora and fauna, and picnic lakeside. Hello, paradise!
