About Keystone Lake

Keystone Lake’s blue-green water and the natural beauty of its setting — 330 miles of wooded shoreline, sandy beaches, high bluffs, grasslands, and low rolling hills — make it a visual treat year round. The lake meanders into small valleys, creating many arms and land fingers. A network of county, state, and federal highways invites sightseers into many points overlooking the lake.

The lake is on the Arkansas River 15 miles west of downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma. This 26,000 acre lake is truly an urban playground. There are 16 recreation areas (3 with alcohol free beaches); 11 boat ramps, miles of sandy beaches, 4 marinas, 2 off-road vehicle areas, 5 short distance trails, a waterfowl refuge, thousands of acres of land open to public hunting and 3 seasonal green tree reservoirs, which consist of bottomland hardwood forest land which is shallowly flooded.

Camping facilities range from primitive to full hook up. Cabins are available at Keystone State Park. Boat rentals are available through Keyport Marina, Pier 51 Marina, Westport Marina, & The Harbor CrossTimbers Marina.  In addition, A new Yogi Bear Camp Jellystone park located just east of Mannford, OK started construction in the spring of 2015 on a multi-million dollar project.  Details can be found at the links pasted below.
