Spring Creek Lake is located on Spring Creek [1] in Roger Mills County [2] about 14 miles north of Cheyenne on US Route 283 and 8 miles west on SH-33, in the State of Oklahoma. [3] It is inside the Black Kettle National Grassland, [3] which is managed by the Cibola National Forest. [4] It is 60 acres in size. [5]
The lake offers a variety of fish including striped bass, white bass, smallmouth bass, catfish, largemouth bass and flathead catfish. [2] It is a "no wake" lake with an established 5 mph speed limit, and a dirt boat launching ramp is provided. [6]
The associated recreation area has dispersed camping sites, a picnic area, nature viewing, restroom facilities, two covered picnic sites and paved roads. [7]
Spring Creek
The Spring Creek that feeds this lake originates north of the lake and just south of Oklahoma State Highway 33, at a point southwest of Crawford, Oklahoma in Roger Mills County. [8] After flowing south and being impounded by the lake, the creek continues generally south in Roger Mills to become a tributary of the Washita River. [9] This creek is not to be confused with at least five other creeks in Oklahoma with the “Spring Creek” name, [10] nor with numerous other watercourses named Spring Creek in other states and countries.
