ARCADIA LAKE Edmond’s Arcadia Lake offers four full seasons of fun. Located just east of I-35 and only 5 miles from Downtown Edmond, Arcadia Lake is a great spot for a quick trip or an extended stay. Guests can enjoy picnics, camping, swimming, boating and water sports, disc golf, hiking, walking and biking. The environment around the lake has remained largely untouched to preserve nature and wildlife. With full RV hookups and primitive camping, Arcadia Lake appeals to a wide range of adventurers. View fee and usage details at ArcadiaLakeOK.com. A highlight on the Oklahoma Fishing Trail, Arcadia Lake’s angling is unmatched. Fishermen can bait and fish for bluegill, crappies, channel and blue catfish, large-mouth and striped bass. Heated and shaded docks are available for all season fishermen. The Spring Creek Trail consists of an eighteen foot wide path with dedicated lanes for cycling and running or walking pedestrians. The 3.1 mile pathway runs west from Spring Creek Park at Arcadia Lake to I-35. The trail can be accessed at the entrance of Spring Creek Park and on the Integris Health Edmond’s campus. Need some gear to enjoy the lake? UCO’s Outdoor Adventure Recreation Center offers a fleet of kayaks, canoes, stand up paddle boards, and mountain bikes for rentals and individual or group instruction.

“I recently bought a boat and began using Arcadia lake on a weekly if not daily basis. Our family camped out for 4 straight days over the 4th of July holiday. This is a gem of a lake and I see people driving in from all over to come use it.“
