Lake Thunderbird, Water reservoir near Norman, United States.
Lake Thunderbird spans 6,000 water acres with 86 miles of shoreline and maintains a maximum depth of 58 feet above the Little River.
The United States Bureau of Reclamation constructed Norman Dam between 1962 and 1965 to address water supply needs for surrounding communities.
The lake receives its name from Native American folklore, while locals refer to it as Lake Dirtybird due to its water clarity.
The reservoir supplies municipal water to Norman, Midwest City, and Del City while offering nine boat ramps and two swimming beaches.
Lake Thunderbird State Park incorporates equestrian trails with twelve obstacles in the Clear Bay area, open from Wednesday through Sunday.
