The associated recreation area has dispersed camping sites, a picnic area, nature viewing, restroom facilities, two covered picnic sites and paved roads.[7]

Spring Creek

The Spring Creek that feeds this lake originates north of the lake and just south of Oklahoma State Highway 33, at a point southwest of Crawford, Oklahoma in Roger Mills County.[8] After flowing south and being impounded by the lake, the creek continues generally south in Roger Mills to become a tributary of the Washita River.[9] This creek is not to be confused with at least five other creeks in Oklahoma with the “Spring Creek” name,[10] nor with numerous other watercourses named Spring Creek in other states and countries.
