Review:
The 2,500-acre Lake Hefner was created in 1947 when Hefner Dam was completed for the purpose of increasing water supply in Oklahoma City. The lake is located in northwest Oklahoma and has 18 miles of diverse shoreline. Lake Hefner is famous for excellent sailing, and there are regular weekend sailboat races. The pleasant scenic shoreline is great for picnicking, and a rich fish population makes it popular for fishing. Picturesque shoreline is encircled with nine miles of scenic hiking and biking trails. On the east side of the lake there are six-foot wide flat trails for pedestrians only. Lake Hefner has no significant residential development, and its south side still has the original forest and wildlife habitat.
