Family Fun

Time spent together on the lake can be a very special time for families, especially at Lake Texoma, one of the nation’s finest recreation attractions.

The lake itself is heaven for water sports. Its serpentine shape creates many sheltered coves which are ideal for teaching kids to fish, ski or handle a boat. Hundreds are experiencing the thrills of personal watercraft—jet skis, wave runners, etc. Paddle boats round out Texoma’s appeal to the whole family.

Opportunities for hiking, golfing, water-skiing, fishing and boating abound at Lake Texoma. Nearly all the resorts and marinas have good spots for pleasant strolls.

Camping and picnicking are especially rewarding around Texoma. Those who want to “rough it” will discover plenty of rustic sites. For travelers who bring along the comforts of home in a recreational vehicle, there are ample trailer spaces with utility hook-ups. A wide selection of accommodations awaits the cabin-seeker as well.

All these facilities include ready access to paved roads, parking areas, trash containers, charcoal grills and picnic tables. Public boat docks and marinas, boat and motor rental services and stores that sell fuel, food and supplies —all ensure that visitors have everything for a fun-filled outdoor adventure. For vacationers seeking to be pampered indoors, 26 resorts and a variety of restaurants will satisfy any mood.

Golfers can choose from several excellent public golf courses—most of them 18-hole courses. Texoma has outstanding private courses, too. Many of the private courses accommodate visitors.

Miniature golf is always a family favorite. Bumper boats and a few laps around a go-cart track are great options for youthful fun.

Friendly and knowledgeable people are always available to help visitors select appropriate gear and advise about permits and safety precautions.
