Okmulgee Lake was built in 1927 and covers 668 acres and 19 miles of shoreline. The original earthen dam was replaced with a rock spillway during the 1930's. The spillway attracts many visitors with its beauty when it is flowing.

Dripping Springs Lake was constructed in 1975 by the City of Okmulgee and designated Oklahoma's first "Trophy Bass Lake". It spreads 1,150 acres and 18 miles of shoreline. The lake has an abundant stand of timber still in the water, which make an ideal habitat for trophy bass.
Dripping Springs Lake is a fishing only lake, no water sports allowed. Bass slot limit: 16-22 inch protected slot. Six combined per day with only one 22 or over.
