Stroud Lake, body of water
Stroud Lake is a reservoir in Creek County, Oklahoma, located about 7 miles northeast of the town of Stroud. It spans about 600 acres with a shoreline of over 14 miles and reaches depths of nearly 50 feet, making it suitable for fishing, boating, and swimming. The surrounding landscape features open land and scattered trees that frame the water.
The lake was constructed in 1968 and was originally named Salt Camp Creek Watershed Dam No. 12 before becoming known as Stroud Lake. It was built primarily as a water storage facility for the region but has since become a popular recreation area for the local community.
Visitors should bring their own supplies, as facilities are limited and there are no major amenities nearby. The lake is easily accessible with simple parking areas close to the water for a quick day visit.
The lake is home to bass, catfish, and crappie, making it a draw for anglers seeking to catch multiple fish species. The productive fishing has earned it recognition as a reliable spot for successful catches.
