I noticed that more people catch fish when the dam is releasing water, but even when the water stops flowing there's plenty of fish to be caught. On my recent visit here we noticed some Okies on the Oklahoma side doing donuts in the sandy shore and trying to do some not so awesome jumps in their Suburban, bottoming out, and getting stuck in the sand every now and then. The Suburban definitely did not have four wheel drive. This was a good show because all of us Texans on our side of the river were hoot'n when they'd occasionally got stuck. Sigh... Okies. :-P Bring a cooler with your favorite canned beverages, your Yelp koozie, relax, and enjoy fishing!

We camped 2 nights in our RV and hiked the trails. The RV spot we had was very unlevel and…read moreunfortunately didn't have enough leveling blocks. Had to add buying more to the growing RV needs list. The park was well maintained. The trailheads have limited parking. We drove around until we found one on trail 9. There are 14 or more trails and they seem to create a loop. We hiked 3 miles and called it a day. The trails sometimes needed better signage. I liked the vast amount of picnic areas. This park is well off the main steers creating a quiet place to enjoy. I mean, I heard speed boats during our hike, but that didn't spoil my solitude.

They have really nice nearby cabins along the peninsula where we stayed. There's a lot to do for the entire family, trail running, hiking, fishing etc. Plus it is a short drive up north offering the "we are not in DFW" vibe. It is worth checking out for sure!

Make sure to pay attention when coming off US 75, the entrance is on the right. Lots of tables, both cement and wooden in shaded areas with great views of the lake. No specific parking area, just pull off the road and park next to the table you want to use. No bathroom facilities, so know that. Can also be used as a walking area, but it will be shared with vehicle traffic, so watch for that. Next to Frontier Village and Texoma Livestock Expo.

I learned from the two young men working yesterday that once COVID threat has subsided this location will begin renting paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, and pontoon boats again. In the meantime, the store is recently re-opened and sparsely supplied with some basic camping supplies, snacks and drinks, Havana flip flops, hot/cold thermoses/water bottles, and yacht club tanks/tees for sale. It's a small, humble establishment but was doing some steady business fueling boats. **I'd love to see this place offering fresh burgers/deli sandwiches but maybe that'd bring too much of a crowd of hungry boaters;). Speaking of hunger--to support this local business, I purchased my first ever pickle in a pouch! It was a a Tapatio's Salsa Picante and it was delicious!! My partner was skeptical but enjoyed his fair share;) Fortunately, there are many trash bins throughout the state park (where we headed after) to dispose of the leftover pickle juice and pouch. If you're supplied with some whiskey, this would be great for campsite/onboard picklebacks!!
