About Clayton Lake State Park

This southeastern Oklahoma state park sits in hardwood forest and surrounds an 80-acre lake that is open to anglers and boaters, though watersports are not permitted. Visitors can fish from a lighted dock that is accessible under ADA rules, launch a kayak or canoe, and walk trails and the water's edge. Lodging includes RV sites, tent sites in three camping areas, primitive cabins with bathrooms, and a two-bedroom family cabin. Picnic pavilions, two boat ramps, a playground, and comfort stations round out the facilities. The park lies about five miles south of Clayton, and the Ouachita National Forest and Sardis Lake are nearby.
