Osage Point Park provides boat ramp access to Keystone Lake on the Arkansas River system, located approximately 14 miles east of Ponca City, Oklahoma. This day-use access point is convenient for kayakers, canoeists, and boaters launching into this scenic impoundment. The park features a dedicated parking area for boat trailers near the ramp, and primitive camping is available for those planning extended trips.
The Arkansas River system here is a major waterway with significant flow averaging over 51,000 cubic feet per second and considerable current. Paddlers should be prepared for a large, powerful river with moderate velocity and be aware of dam operations that may affect water levels and flow conditions. The surrounding landscape features wooded shorelines, sandy beaches, and scenic bluffs typical of Keystone Lake's setting.
Amenities at Osage Point include primitive tent and RV campsites (without hookups) and a dump station at the entrance. All boats and trailers must be parked in the designated parking area near the ramp. This location is ideal for those seeking access to Keystone Lake's recreational opportunities, including paddling, camping, and enjoying the natural beauty of the region.
