Elm Point (Ok)

Elm Point is a small campground located at the south end of Eufaula Lake, 10 miles from McAlester. Eufaula Lake has long been recognized for its outstanding fishery. Crappie, sand bass, catfish and black bass in the lake reach record size, and below the dam striped bass reaching over 40 pounds have been caught in the tailwaters. The park has one vault type toilet, a boat launching ramp and a group picnic shelter. There is no shower facility. Eufaula Lake is the largest lake located entirely in the state of Oklahoma. It is located on the Canadian River, 27 miles upstream from its confluence with the Arkansas River. The dam, completed in 1964 and dedicated by President Lyndon B. Johnson, was originally built for flood control. With over 800 miles of shoreline and 105,000 surface acres of water, Eufaula Lake offers a variety of recreational opportunities. The shoreline ranges from vast expanses of sandy beaches to rocky bluffs, and the scenery is especially beautiful during the fall months, when visitors are treated to an array of vivid autumn colors. The City of McAlester offers a variety of activities and restaurants.
