About the Lake

Purcell City Lake is 150 acres of water surrounded by many parks and recreational opportunities.  Our docks and jetties and long stretches of shoreline give access to fisherman on all sides of the lake.  From kayaks to bass boats, our no wake waters our easily accessible through many boat ramps and launch points.  A large sand beach is a great spot to tan, play with the kids and go for a swim in the designated swimming area. 

Our Partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation

We work closely with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) in developing Purcell City Lake.  ODWC provides us with surveys, reports, and advice on how best to improve our fish habitat and experience for our local anglers.  For more information, please visit the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation website.
