Kaw Lake

Kaw Lake is a 38,400-acre reservoir in northern Oklahoma, located along the Arkansas River. It was created in 1976 by the Army Corps of Engineers for flood control, water storage, and recreation purposes. The lake is popular for fishing, boating, and camping, with several parks and marinas around its shores. It is also a source of drinking water for several nearby communities. The lake is named after the Kaw Nation, a Native American tribe that historically inhabited the area.
