Lake Overholser

Lake Overholser is a recreational reservoir in Oklahoma City with extensive shoreline for fishing, boating, and picnicking. The water body features multiple boat access points, fishing areas, and sheltered pavilions for gatherings.

The reservoir was built in 1919 as Oklahoma City's first water storage system. It was originally designed to supply drinking water and manage seasonal flooding.

The lake serves as a central meeting place where people from Oklahoma City gather year-round for outdoor recreation and social activities. The shorelines reflect how locals spend their leisure time with family and friends.

The lake is accessible from dawn to dusk and provides parking areas and walking paths along the shoreline. Fishing here requires proper licenses, and facilities vary depending on which section of the water you plan to visit.

The eastern shoreline features underwater structures designed to attract fish and provide shelter for them. Anglers can use multiple fishing rods simultaneously here, a permission that enhances the fishing experience.
