Lake Texoma is one of the largest reservoirs in the United States, the 12th largest Corps of Engineers lake, and the largest in Tulsa District of the USCAE. Formed by Denison Dam in 1944 (sometimes also called Lake Texoma Dam), its surface spreads over 89,000 acres (360 km²) at the confluence of the Red and Washita Rivers, straddling the Texas-Oklahoma border. Normal water elevation varies from 615 to 619 ft (187 to 189 m) depending on the time of year. The lake has crested the dam's spillway at a height of 640 ft (195.07 m) three times: once in 1957, again in 1991, and most recently on July 7, 2007.

  • Well, now that's awfuly rude. There's no need for that kind of attitude. Remember the Golden Rule and treat others the way you would want them to treat you.
