Cedar Lake (oklahoma)

Hosted by USDA Forest Service

New listing

Cedar Lake is located in southeast Oklahoma, in the pine and hardwood-forested mountains of the Ouachita National Forest. The campground is situated on the shores of the scenic lake, a popular destination for boating, fishing, horseback riding and hiking. The lake covers 86 acres at an elevation of 900 feet, and fall foliage season usually runs from the last two weeks in October to the first two weeks in November. The campground is a popular starting point for the Winding Stair Mountain Equestrian Trails, a system of over 70 miles of marked horseback riding trails. A hiking trail traverses the perimeter of Cedar Lake, offering varied views of the lake and its tributaries, and a swimming area, boat ramp and fishing piers are available within the recreation area. The Talimena National Scenic Byway is within 10 miles, offering mountain top views of the valleys around Cedar Lake and historic sites along the way. Talihina State Park, the western terminus of the 192-mile Ouachita National Recreation Trail and the longest continuous trail system on the Forest, is 21 miles away. Kelly Branch Rifle Range is 10 miles from the recreation area, and Heavener Runestone Park in Heavener, Oklahoma is 14 miles. Sites range from equestrian to group to family. Shady Lane (SHRV) sites have electric and water hookups; Sandy Beach sites have electric and water connections; North Shore family sites are basic campsites with community water spigots scattered through the area and no electrical connections. Most equestrian sites have electric and water at the campsite, and Cedar Lake Equestrian Camp is one of the largest equestrian campgrounds in the Southern Region. Picnic tables, grills, campfire rings and lantern posts are provided, as are flush toilets, warm showers and drinking water. Picnic pavilions are on-site, and horse corrals are located within the equestrian area. The Ouachita National Forest covers 1.8 million acres in central Arkansas and southeastern Oklahoma, encompassing 700 miles of trails, 43 vistas, six wilderness areas and the highest elevations between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Rockies.
