This 89,000 acre lake on the Red River is
shared by Texas and Oklahoma. It is widely recognized as a
top fishing lake, and is one of the most popular recreation
destinations in the Southwest. Lake Texoma was built by the
Corps of Engineers in the 1940's, and was stocked with black
bass and crappie along with the native white bass in the Red
and Washita Rivers.
The lake area includes two wildlife
refuges, two state parks, fifty four U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers-managed parks, twenty-six resorts, hundreds of
campgrounds and a variety of excellent golf courses. Power
boating, power sailing, personal watercraft, water skiers
and wind surfers all consider the lake an excellent place to
have fun. Lake Texoma has become a huge sailing center based
on the lake's size, depth and miles of sailing shoreline. |
