Wilson Point Pavilion

Wilson Point Day Use is a large recreational area in a forested expanse of southeast Oklahoma, perched along the banks of Hugo Lake. Wilson Point offers a large group picnic shelter, playground, swimming beach, kids fishing pond and boat ramp. There are always fish to be caught at Hugo Lake. From early sand bass and slab crappie to late season fall bass, anglers will always find opportunities, and the lake provides excellent catfishing during the summer. The lake area offers plenty of hunting, with over 25,000 acres of land available, and bow hunting is permitted in and around most of the park areas. Kiamichi Park features an archery practice range and a 3,000-acre Quality Deer Management Area. Wildlife around the lake includes waterfowl, bobwhite quail, dove, whitetail deer, mink, fox and beaver. Hugo Lake Dam sits on the Kiamichi River, 18 river miles upstream from its confluence with the Red River. Completed in 1974, it provides flood control, water supply and fish and wildlife management for nearby communities. A number of historical attractions are located near the lake, including Native American cultural centers, Civil War headquarters, historic churches and schools.
