Fort Gibson Dam, Gravity dam near Fort Gibson, United States.
Fort Gibson Dam stretches 2,850 feet across the Grand River in Oklahoma, featuring 30 spillways with tainter gates for water management control points.
Construction of the dam began in 1942, paused during World War II, and resumed in 1946 under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers supervision.
The dam forms Fort Gibson Lake, which draws numerous visitors for recreation, fishing tournaments, and seasonal eagle watching activities from November through February.
Four Francis-type turbines generate 48 megawatts of hydroelectric power while providing water supply resources to surrounding northeastern Oklahoma communities.
The lake experiences substantial water level changes as the final reservoir in the Grand River chain, creating different fishing conditions throughout the seasons.
