Today we went driving through several of Edmond's city parks where you can fish, swim, camp amongst…read moreother numerous activities. We decided to start with Arcadia Lake. There are several spots to camp, which is what we are primarily interested in seeing. There are four parks that make up Arcadia Lake as a whole. Central State Park, Spring Creek Park, Scissortail campground, and Edmond Park. We started at Central State Park and then quickly moved onto Edmond Park. We were more impressed by what we saw at Edmond Park vs what we saw at the larger Central State Park. The campsites definitely have more space and a more private feel to them. And some of them are safely located near the water. Each campground also has bathroom facilities, although they weren't super clean (it's a campground so they are never immaculate) and they did smell. Each site has parking, one cement table, a fire ring and trash cans. My husband and I both feel that the sites here are more pleasant because they have more trees, they are more spacious and they have more grassy areas.

We stayed in Scissortail and because of the awesome Camp Host, Carrie, ended up with the best spot in the campground for our first trip. It had amazing views of the lake and the sunset! The only downside I have is I really wish they did a reservation system, so you could book a spot, or know when one is coming available. It is difficult to drive all the way out there not knowing if you can get a spot.

The staff is excellent and always so friendly, helpful, and willing to go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need.

It's a wonderful atmosphere and a great place to stay. We would definitely recommend this park and look forward to coming back!

Spring Creek disc golf course is located within the boundaries of the lake Arcadia park. There are…read moretwo 18 hole courses. The red and the blue. The red is a little shorter and is more inland while the blue is closer to the water. We played the blue and after the first hole across an open field you are pretty mini. The woods for the rest. The fairways are tight and lots of high grass and woods. Pay attention to where your disc lands as it can be a tough find in some areas. The holes are all pretty short and it was pretty easy to navigate and follow the signage. This was my first time here and really enjoyed it. Took just shy of 2 hrs to play. It is free to play sort of. You have to pay 10 dollars per car with max 5 occupants to get into the park itself.

A trip to Lake Arcadia can be a modest affair, staying in the car driving through the park around sunset, maybe walking out on the dock watching the sun fade away for the day, or it can be an all day adventure with boating and picnics and barbecues. Early on in 2020 we realized we needed to renew our park pass for Lake Arcadia as we could see this may be a loooong year (boy, we were right on the money). Eighty dollars will get a vehicle in the park for a year if you are an OKC resident. Edmond residents can buy a year park pass for a 20% discount per year (about $64 dollars). This gets you unlimited entry into the park. I'd highly recommend it. I've always said one of my most favorite parts of living in Oklahoma has been the celebration in the sky at the end of daylight ringing in that night is upon us. I'm not from Oklahoma and I will say that the sunsets here are second to none. This park, especially the dock facing west next to the boat ramp is one of my most favorite places to watch the relay of the daylight sun passing into the Southern Hemisphere. Just as dusk settles in wildlife really begin to peek out from the woods. If you have kiddos and can manage to work in a drive through Arcadia at dusk, they'd love to see all the deer (definitely deer), and maybe turkeys, cranes, eagles, scissor-tailed flycatchers, and hawks that come around when most of the all-day lake goers have left for the day. Treat yourself to a sunset here and learn why it's worth every bit of $80 to get to come here as often as you want. October 2020

The staff is friendly and it's pretty much what you'd expect from a country diner. They have salads, sandwiches, burgers and a hot food buffet. The breakfast is the best of the 3 meals they offer. But this place is really known for their cinnamon rolls, as well they should be. They not only sell them in the front of the restaurant to take home, but many grocery stores around the metro carry them as well. My advice is to eat an onion burger in El Reno, at Sid's or Johnny's, then take the 15 mile drive north on hwy 81 and pick up some rolls to take home.

I woke up early and walked my dog by the lake and it was so peaceful and quiet with lots of birds, even a heron wading in the water. The only thing we didn't love was all of the litter. It was truly appalling, even though there were plenty of well maintained trash cans around. It was all along the waters edge as well as all around our campsite. The bathroom ms were pretty gross as well...come on people- have some respect! Anyway, we stayed at a pristine campground last night where we were handed a garbage bag at check in, so I wanted to pass along the idea!
