Skiatook Lake is located on Hominy Creek in Osage County, Oklahoma. The dam site is at mile 14.3 of Hominy Creek approximately five miles west of Skiatook, Oklahoma.
Gentle rolling hills of Blackjack and Post Oak interspersed with Tallgrass Prairie surround beautiful Skiatook Lake. The meandering shoreline is accentuated by steep picturesque bluffs which offer spectacular views for the recreation user. Boating, hiking, swimming, camping, picnicking as well as hunting and fishing are all popular activities at the lake.
| Whitetail deer, quail, rabbit, and squirrel are plentiful around the lake and some 8,000 acres are open to hunters wishing to pursue these species. Sport fishing also offers many hours of enjoyment for the visitor. Largemouth bass,
small mouth bass, spotted bass, hybrid striped bass, walleye, black and white crappie, channel catfish, and several species of sunfish are plentiful in Skiatook Lake. |

~~~~Tall Chief Scramble ~~~~~
Not your standard "walk in the park" urban cache
yet this one is a very manageable adventure located about .28 miles from a paved
road close to Tall Chief Cove at Skiatook Lake. Obey the lake rules and
regulations as governed by the Army Corps of Engineers and steer clear of the
wildlife while you make your way to the cache site. You will experience upwards
of .28 miles of uneven terrain and moderately thick vegetation depending on the
route that you choose. Good Luck, Have fun and Be Safe.
