Review:
Lake Overholser is a 1,500-acre reservoir constructed in 1919 to supply water to Oklahoma City. Fishing is the lake’s biggest attraction, and there is a nice covered fishing dock on the southwest side. The lake’s average depth is only six feet, but it is nevertheless full of black, sand, striped and hybrid striped bass, sunfish, catfish, walleye, crappie, and saugeye. There are boat ramps all around the lake. Jet skis and motor boats are allowed. There is a large cattail marsh at the north end of the lake, which attracts a huge number of birds in the summer and fall. The best place for picnics on the lake is on the southeast side, where you’ll find a covered picnic pavilion, soccer fields, and tennis courts.
