Lake Texoma is a premiere spot for striped bass. You'll also be able to angle for catfish, white bass, blue catfish, and sunfish. The park's privately-operated Catfish Bay Marina offers a fuel dock and striper guide fishing services. The park also has two boat ramps, so you can easily fish either from shore or launch yourself out to spend a day angling on the water.
Whether you and your family want to grill up your catch of the day or skip right to the picnic, without the angling interlude, the park offers plenty of picnic tables and fire rings, many right on the lake, on a first come, first serve basis.
The park's sandy beach on the lake is a great spot for families to relax by the water, take a dip, and let the little ones run around in summer. Just keep in mind that there is no lifeguard on duty.
