I haven't been here in a while and my friends and I decided to go for a walk to get some exercise…read more We got up early and went to beat the heat. It was very nice walking the path in the morning. There were a couple other people up early as well. The path was fairly clean, although we did pass an area where someone threw at least 4 used diapers on the ground instead of walking 40 feet to the trash can. There is not any shade at this walking/ biking path, so bring some sunblock, wear sunglasses, and wear a hat. There are lots of birds and animals to see. We saw some sort of mongoose looking animal that was super cute to watch. He has brown fur and was long and skinny. He was jumping from rock to rock at the lighthouse area. There's a lot of restaurants near the parking area we were at.

Lake Hefner or the older name Bluk Creek Resrvoir named after former mayor Robert A Hefner in 1945…read morebecause he played a crucial role in developing OKC water system and Oklahoma City council decided to rename it to recognize his hard work and dedications...Its located in northwestern part of OKC...its a peaceful gem. It has beautiful scenery, water front, lighthouse and etc. this lake also is popular for boating, fishing , birdwatching, cycling, jogging and other outdoor activities...There are also nearby waterfront restaurants...if you are visiting OKC and want to explore something beyond Bricktown, museums, downtown attractions and etc this lake is worth adding to your itinerary...Its a beautiful reminder that OKC has much more offer than people might think!!!

I have a yearly lease here with my camper. It's a GREAT lake to be at. Even with the levels low…read morethere's still plenty of activity to take part in. I feel safe leaving my camper when I'm not there, including all my outdoor stuff. I've never had any trouble. Want to take a dip? Sure is a great and safe lake. FAmily oriented. The gas station there even has reasonably priced items and a great staff. Get gas before you get to the lake tho. This is the only thing they are overpriced on. Have fun and invite many friends. IT's a large lake.

I have been camping here with my family for a long time. When my sister and I decided to go to…read moreOklahoma State University we have had graduation parties and family member bring their RV's and stay here since 2014. Our spot would always be at pine grove and would go fishing in their crappie pond and were thrilled when they added the new sand beach. Now in 2025, they have made our spot (Pine Grove) where me and many other families have always taken our spring break, fall break and other week vacations at and "annual only site" and closed it off. We thought okay that sucks but we can try out the others sites. We decided to try out Beaver Cove and that has been a MAJOR disappointment. The sites look like they have not been tidied up in who knows how long and their bathrooms are unclean and do not have any soap ever! No decent swimming/fishing areas around it. And ticks everywhere! You would figure if they decided to close off pine grove they would fix up the non-annual spots but no! Seems to be more about the money considering there are more annual spots than non-annual and they are better taken care of. After 11 years of camping here we have decided to look elsewhere to camp. So so so disappointed!!!!
