Dripping Springs Lake
Dripping Springs Lake was designated as Oklahoma's first trophy bass lake. The park is adjacent to Okmulgee Park and Okmulgee Lake.[3] This lake has a surface area of 1,100 acres (450 ha) and a relatively flat shoreline of 18 miles (29 km).[4]
The lake has a surface area of 1,150 acres (4,700,000 m2), a mean depth of 14 feet (4.3 m), a normal capacity of 16,200 acre-feet (20,000,000 m3) and a normal pool elevation of 741 feet (226 m) above mean sea level (MSL). Construction began in 1976, but the lake was not completely filled until 1979. The Oklahoma Water Resources Board reported that the lake becomes thermally stratified during summer and does not support the dissolved oxygen (DO) requirements set by the state Fish and Wildlife Propagation Program. However, ODWC also reported that water clarity was excellent, compared to other state lakes, and that it was neutral to slightly alkaline (pH 6.68-7.82).[1]
