About Skiatook

Skiatook Lake was constructed in the early 1980s as a flood control and water supply reservoir. The lake spans over 10,000 acres, offering ample space for boating, fishing, swimming, sailing, and kayaking. Its shores and surrounding hills attract visitors year-round, drawn not only to its scenic beauty but also to its abundant wildlife and serene camping spots.
On the Water
Skiatook Lake offers anglers a serene and rewarding experience among Oklahoma's natural beauty. Known for its abundance of largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, and various panfish species, the lake provides ample opportunities for both novice and seasoned fishermen alike. Clear waters make it an ideal spot for casting lines from the shore or venturing out on a boat, whether you're after a relaxing day with family or aiming to reel in a trophy catch.
Nestled amid rolling hills and expansive woodlands, the campsites provide a perfect blend of nature and comfort. Whether you prefer pitching a tent under the starlit sky or parking your RV lakeside, each site offers beautiful views and a peaceful ambiance. Days bring swimming, boating, fishing, and kayaking; evenings bring the sounds of nature and the chance to gather around a crackling campfire.
Skiatook Lake offers an escape for both kayaking and sail boating enthusiasts. Calm waters provide an ideal setting for paddlers to glide through scenic coves while enjoying nature. For those who prefer the thrill of harnessing the wind, sail boating here combines the excitement of sailing with the peaceful backdrop of the lake's calm, picturesque views.
