McGee Creek State Park lies in southern Oklahoma along the shore of McGee Creek Reservoir, a lake created in 1985 for flood control by damming McGee Creek. The park covers about 2,600 acres, while the reservoir spans about 3,800 acres. Known especially for recreational and sport fishing, the area attracts anglers seeking crappie, sunfish, largemouth bass, and channel catfish. The surrounding landscape supports wildlife such as bear and deer, and shortleaf pine is notably abundant near the western edge of its range. The park forms part of a broader protected landscape of about 20,000 acres that also includes wildlife and scenic recreation areas.
