Directions and Factoids
Directions: From Fort Gibson, 6 miles north on OK 80.
Factoid: Fort Gibson Lake is located on the Grand (Neosho) River about 5 miles northwest of
historic Fort Gibson, Oklahoma, from which it draws its name. It is about 7.7 miles above
the confluence of the Grand (Neosho) and Arkansas Rivers. The lake lies in Wagoner,
Cherokee, and Mayes Counties and extends upriver to the Markham Ferry Dam (Lake Hudson).
Northeast Oklahoma has long been noted for its outstanding fishing. At Fort Gibson Lake,
sportsmen will find black bass, white bass, crappie, and several varieties of catfish and
panfish. Three heated fishing docks offer winter fun for crappie fishing.
When "game fever" is in the air, hunters will find such species as whitetail deer,
bobwhite quail, mourning dove, duck, geese, cottontail rabbit and squirrel.
