Brushy Lake State Park Oklahoma
The Brushy Lake State Park and adjoining Sallisaw State Park envelope the eastern shoreline of beautiful Brushy Lake. Brushy Lake is a 33-acre lake South East of Marble City. This is a wonderful camp site for anyone who wants to get away from the crowded and the busy streets of the city life. It is also located in the scenic wooded Cookson Hills of eastern Oklahoma.
Brushy Lake State Park offers visitors a quiet, secluded recreation destination that is fit for campers and nature lovers to just have a peaceful and relaxing day outdoors. The area provides an ample amount of shade so you can feel cool and fresh even in the summers.
The park’s facilities include eight day-use picnic areas with tables and grills which is perfect for group activities or just the plain old family tradition of bonding out with nature. You do not have to really stay the night to enjoy the place. But if you are interested in camping out, the state park is also quite a great place to set up camp and circle around a great fire.
Brushy Lake State Park provides group shelters with electricity where you can camp out with your friends or families. There are 23 concrete camping sites all near a lighted boat ramp. Electric service, water service and comfort stations with showers are all available in this wonderful park.
During the day, you can enjoy fishing or swimming in the lake. The park offers boat and fishing docks for the avid fishermen and kids. You can also rent an electric or manually powered boat where you can enjoy around the lake. There are bass and bream fish found in the lake. If you are not too fond of the water, there are hiking trails available for the experienced and the beginner hiker.
You can take along the kids for a short hike and see animals and birds. If you are into professional photography or scenic photography, take out your camera and start collecting photos of the wildlife and the beautiful foliage. The kids are not going to be hiking much so the park has a playground accessible for them. They can also enjoy swimming, accompanied by adults since there are no life guards available near the lake.
There is also an available RV camping at Brush Lake for those who would want to bring the comfort of modern times with them in the outdoors. There are no hook ups for electricity and hot shower, so you can either boil water outside or just use cold water from the showers or the lake.
Brushy Lake State Park is open 24 hours, 7 days a week all year round. The normal camping fee is $10-15 but they offer senior citizen discounts. You will certainly enjoy the area since it is steeped in history and beauty. Go visit and enjoy nature with the Brushy Lake State Park!
I have to say, I have been touring Oklahoma since I was born and I love it so much. Everything is beautiful and so much better than things in missouri. Brushy lake only adds to oklahoma’s beauty. Anyone that lives in this area is extreamly lucky and should never forget what beauty is down there. Im from Missouri and there is just nothing like Oklahoma. Missouri is dull and Smithville, Lake of the Ozarks, and Truman are well over fished. I love to go down to Oklahoma and catch all those fish. It is truly amazing down there.
