Review:
Texoma Lake is a massive 89,000-acre reservoir shared between Texas and Oklahoma, deep and blue and surrounded by miles of green hills, with 580 miles of shoreline. The lake was created in 1938 by the construction of Denison Dam on the Red River in order to provide flood control and create hydropower. In Oklahoma, the lake is part of the Lake Texoma State Park with great facilities for a fun vacation such as bicycle and boat rentals, horseback riding, campsites, fishing and picnic areas, and a nice sandy swimming beach. Anglers come for catfish or smallmouth bass. The Cross Timbers Hiking Trail is a 14-mile hiking path that meanders through the park and passes by scenic overlooks through rich woodlands and open prairie land.
