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]
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.
