The lake was constructed in 1963 by the USDA Soil Conservation Service for flood control and a municipal water supply for Sallisaw. The total drainage area above the lake is 13,256 acres (5,365 ha). Water is pumped to the Sallisaw water treatment facilities via a 16-inch transmission line approximately six miles (9.7 km) in length. [4] [5]
