Washunga Bay

Washunga Bay Campground is situated along the banks of Kaw Lake in north central Oklahoma. Completed in 1976, the lake covers 17,000 surface acres and has 168 miles of shoreline. The lake and river are known for producing some of Oklahoma's largest catfish, as well as crappie, white bass and walleye. Hikers and horseback riders are attracted to the beautiful trails along the eastern shore: the Eagle View Hiking Trail runs approximately 12 miles between Osage Cove and Burbank Landing, and the Five Fingers Equestrian Trail extends from Burbank Landing to the Sarge Creek Cove Public Use Area. Hunters find excellent populations of whitetail deer, turkey, quail, rabbit and squirrel. During the fall waterfowl seasons Kaw Lake often attracts large numbers of migrating ducks and geese, and during the winter visitors are likely to spot migrating bald eagles, as Kaw Lake has one of the biggest populations in the state. The campground offers 24 campsites with electric hookups, drinking water and flush toilets, and a boat ramp provides easy access to the lake. The area holds a number of historical sites, including several Native American settlements, archeological sites and the Pioneer Woman Museum.
