Blue River

Rising in southwest Pontotoc County, Oklahoma, the Blue River flows southeast to the Red River west of Hugo. The Arbuckle-Simpson aquifer is the river's source, and it features a series of granite ledges that create waterfalls, riffles, and pools. The state of Oklahoma acquired 900 acres along the river in 1967 to create the Blue River Wildlife Management Area. By 2004 it had expanded to 3,300 acres. Rainbow trout are stocked, attracting fisherman from a multistate area. It is also a popular destination for campers.
