Review:
McGee Creek Lake is 3,810-acre reservoir hidden in the densely forested Ouachita Mountains, created in 1988 by damming McGee Creek in order to provide water for Oklahoma City. The lake has been developed as a popular recreational site, and its lower part has been cleared of obstacles to allow safe sailing, boating, and water skiing. The upper portion of the lake has been left pretty natural and wild. A big part of the lake shoreline is part of the McGee Creek State Park, as well as part of McGee Creek Wildlife Management Area and Bugaboo Canyon Natural Scenic Area. There are numerous hiking, biking, and horseback riding trails around the McGee Creek Reservoir. At the south end of McGee Creek Lake between the dam and the spillway, are areas for fishing, boat launch, camping, rest rooms, picnicking, and swimming.
