More Info




Fort Washita was constructed in the 1800s as an armed post of the United States. The undertaking of Fort Washita was to guard the Chickasaw & Choctaw people from the Plains Indians. Fort Washita functioned through 1865 and stands currently as a historic site and gallery where guests can study what life was like previously and through the Civil War.

Fort Washita gives guests the prospect to discover the restored buildings, see Civil War reforms, and experience an annual Fur Trade Era Rendezvous, which takes guests on an expedition of the historical past through informative stations, narrations and more.

Lake Texoma

Fishing Report from TPWD (May 7)

FAIR. Water stained; 62 degrees; 16.32 feet below pool. Lake Texoma is flooded, several feet above normal pool level. The majority of ramps and marinas are closed or had to cut power off. We are getting more rain this week and there is a lot of debris in the lake. Report by Jacob Orr, Lake Texoma, Guaranteed Guide Service. Limits of striped bass are possible with slabs. The key will be to find fishable water. The topwater bite is inconsistent and few bites will come with swimbaits. The water level is very high, but should start to slowly recede. There are a lot of submerged obstacles, floating debris and muddy water on the north and west of the lake so navigate with extreme caution. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
