Eufaula Lake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eufaula Lake is a manmade lake in Oklahoma. It is located on the Canadian River, 27 miles upstream from its confluence with the Arkansas River and near the town of Eufaula. It is the largest lake located entirely within the state of Oklahoma (Lake Texoma is larger but is partially located in Texas).
Construction of the 975 metres long dam wall began in 1956 and was completed in 1964. The dam holds back a lake area of over 412 square kilometres. A hydroelectric powerstation provides power from the lake waters.
The lake and surrounds are popular boating, fishing and hunting destinations.
