About Kaw Lake
Oklahoma's Hidden Gem
Kaw Lake sits 8 miles east of Ponca City on the Arkansas River — 17,040 acres of clear water, 168 miles of undeveloped shoreline, and some of Oklahoma's finest fishing. Managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers since 1976, the lake is home to channel catfish, crappie, white bass, walleye, and hybrid striped bass.
Seasonal Guides“Each winter, hundreds of migrating bald eagles make Kaw Lake one of the best eagle-watching destinations in the central United States.”
