Lake Murray State Park, Ardmore, Oklahoma, USA

Lake Murray is a beautiful lake in south central Oklahoma near the city of Ardmore. This hidden gem is known for being part of the largest state park in Oklahoma and for its crystal clear spring fed waters.

Lake Murray State Park completely encompasses the entire lake and boasts many things to do. One of the coolest things about the lake is that the Scenic Highway 77S runs all the way around the lake. You can take this scenic highway to visit all of the day-use parks, campgrounds, beaches and facilities that surround the lake.

Within Lake Murray State Park there are several camping areas, day use areas, and beaches right on the lake. You will also find the Lake Murray Nature Center and Tucker Tower on the south end of the lake which is a must visit on any trip to Lake Murray. Not only will you learn a lot about Lake Murray and the surrounding nature areas, but you can climb to the top of Tucker Tower and look out over the entire lake. It is a beautiful view and a must see during any visit. There is one marina on Lake Murray which is aptly named Lake Murray Marina. The marina is large and has a ship store, boat rentals, boat ramp, and plenty of boat slips available for rent. Lake Murray is a pretty small lake at almost 6,000 surface acres. With over 150 miles of shoreline and plenty of surrounding park areas within Lake Murray State Park there is plenty of places to explore.
