About Eufaula Lake

Eufaula Lake is the largest lake located entirely in the state of Oklahoma. It is formed by the Canadian River, 27 miles upstream from its confluence with the Arkansas River and near the town of Eufaula. It is located between Muskogee and McAlester and to the south of I-40. Eufaula offers a variety of recreational opportunities for everyone. The shoreline ranges from vast expanses of sandy beaches to rocky bluffs.

The Dam

Construction began in December 1956 and was completed in February 1964. Power was first generated in July 1964. The project was completed for full flood control operation in February 1964. The dam is a rolled earth structure 3,200 feet long, including the spillway and powerhouse intake, and rises to a maximum height of 114 feet above the streambed. Oklahoma State Highway 71 crosses the crest of the dam.
