Recreation Area
Murray County, 6 miles SW of
Sulphur, OK

Shoreline: 36 miles
580-622-3165
Platt National Park, near
the city of Sulphur, was once a major attraction because of
its mineral waters. With the construction of Arbuckle
Reservoir in 1967 and formation of the Chickasaw National
Recreation Area, visitors now enjoy boating, fishing,
hunting, camping and sightseeing. Only a few miles to the
southwest, tourists can also enjoy Arbuckle Wilderness (a
wildlife park) and
scenic
Turner Falls.
The Lake is one of the best
fishing lakes in Oklahoma for catfish, crappie, largemouth
bass, white bass, and bluegill. Fishing is permitted year
round. Quail, squirrel, rabbit, deer and turkey are
available for hunting.
Each vessel that uses the Lake of the
Arbuckles requires a permit. Permits are
available at the Point, Buckhorn and Guy Sandy
launch ramp fee machines. The costs are $4.00
for a daily permit or $30.00 for an annual pass.
