Great spot for a picnic or an evening camping. Fishing here is great when they are letting water out of the dam
For primitive camping here since the flooding knocked out the electricity and water it still great. There are 20ish spots, most with standup grill for cooking and rock firepit. Only bathrooms are potapoty by the parking lot. They had TP in both the whole time, sanitizer in at least 1 everytime us girls had to use one.
Great for fishing like paddlefish, putting in your boat or kayak, spending the day with family/friends! Lots of exploring nature opportunities. Dogs are welcome.
Super close to Tulsa/BA.
Fort Gibson Lake is beautiful and I take photographs there quite often.
Went to catch the sunset and maybe a fish or two. Lost 2 lures, no fish, but the sound of the waterfalls was so peaceful. Also, no weird smells, so that's good!
At 50 years old I have more memories from Ft. Gibson lake than I can remember! Lol The dam site up on the hill has a great view if you can find a time when it's open. The dam itself is a very impressive structure basically in the middle of nowhere.
There are multiple spots around the lake for camping or just day trips and a hotel near the lake too so it's got what you need. It's definitely worth seeing.

Finding this spot open is the hard part and it's really overgrown this time of year (prolly why usually closed) BUT it's still worth the wait.
