Review:
Keystone Lake is a large 26,000-acre lake in north-central Oklahoma only 15 miles from Tulsa. The lake has a 330-mile long shoreline surrounded by sandy beaches, sandstone bluffs, and steep hills covered in cedar, oak, and hickory. There are a number of boat ramps all around the lake as well as marinas and camping areas. This man-made lake was created in 1957 as the result of the Keystone Dam construction over the Arkansas River. The lake’s main purpose is flood control as well as power production and water supply to the surrounding cities. Anglers love Keystone Lake for its rich population of striped, sand, black and smallmouth bass, crappie, and channel catfish. Keystone, Walnut Creek, and Feyodi Creek State parks provide different kinds of camping as well as rental cabins. Hikers, bikers, and horseback riders use the 15-mile long scenic Sand Plum Trail.
