About Lake Texoma Association

The Lake Texoma Association is a group of dynamic movers and shakers. If something is in the best interest of our lake, then you can bet that LTA is behind that plan every step of the way, with the cooperation of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department.

The Lake Texoma Association was organized in the 1940s and is very much like a chamber of commerce, but with one major difference… its diverse membership. Not just an organization of businesses and business people, LTA is made up of all sorts of concerned individuals who want to keep Lake Texoma the superb recreational and business area it is today.
