Arkansas River - Newt Graham Pool

1. Arkansas River - Newt Graham Pool

21 sites · Inola, Oklahoma

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.

Keystone Lake

4. Keystone Lake

97 sites · Lotsee, Oklahoma

If you’re looking for a low-key beach getaway, head to Keystone Lake! Just 15 miles from downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma, the park is known for its beautiful blue-green lake waters and landscape of rolling hills, grasslands, and high bluffs. Stop along the highway on your drive in for awesome lake views! Take one of the short hiking trails that run alongside the lakeshore and keep your eyes open for unique rock formations, birds, and beavers! Bring your boat, as you’ll have access to 11 boat ramps and three marinas on the lake. Cast a line for striped bass, white bass, black bass, crappie, and catfish. Wildlife biologists believe there are 40-pounders in there somewhere! There are nine developed swimming beaches, and campers can choose from primitive to full hookup campsites. What’s not to love?

Arkansas River - Chouteau Lock and Dam

5. Arkansas River - Chouteau Lock and Dam

36 sites · Okay, Oklahoma

Chouteau Lock and Dam was built primarily for the improvement of the Arkansas River, but has fun recreation areas, too! Launch your boat and explore the 18.7 miles of navigable waters in the park. Anglers refer to the lock as the “Ditch,” an excellent spot to reel in a large mouth or striped bass. You’ll also find crappie, channel catfish, flatheads, and sunfish. 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! You can also mosey on over to the nearby towns, and check out antique stores while taking in the unique culture: a blend of military families, Cherokee and Creek nations, and Amish communities.
