Lake Wister
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lake Wister is a reservoir in southeast Oklahoma. The lake is created by the Poteau River and the Fourche Maline creek. Wister Lake was authorized for flood control and conservation by the Flood Control Act of 1938. The project was designed and built by the Tulsa District Corps of Engineers. Construction began in April 1946, and the project was placed in full flood control operation in December 1949. It is also listed on National Register of Historic Places. The area around Wister Lake has been inhabited for thousands of years.
