Kaw Lake
Kaw Lake covers 17,000 surface acres and has 168 miles of shoreline. Campers can select from over 250 RV campsites, many of which are equipped with water and electric hookups. Recreation facilities include restrooms and showers, group shelters, picnic areas, boat ramps, playgrounds, drinking water, swimming beach, and two full service marinas. Kaw Lake and the Arkansas River have long been known for producing some of Oklahoma's largest catfish. Kaw Lake also offers anglers excellent opportunities to catch sand (white) bass, crappie and walleye. Hunters' skills can be tested with excellent populations of whitetail dear, turkey, quail, rabbit and squirrel. During the fall waterfowl seasons, Kaw Lake often attracts large numbers of migrating ducks and geese. One of the lake's most popular winter attractions is the American Bald Eagle. Numerous sites around the lake offer visitors excellent opportunities to view wintering bald eagles. Hikers and horseback riders are attracted to the beautiful trails along the eastern shore. The Eagle View Hiking Trail is approximately 12 miles long and runs between Osage Cove and Burbank Landing. The Five Fingers Equestrian Trail extends from Burbank Landing to the Sarge Creek Cove Public Use Area. Users should be aware that both of these trails are closed during Oklahoma's deer rifle and primitive firearms seasons. There is also an ORV area with heavily wooded and sandy soil terrain that offers trail riding for motorcycles and ATVs.Current Lake Level Fishing Hot Spots
