Wahoo Bay Recreation Area

Wahoo Bay Recreation Area offers easy access to the scenic waters of Fort Gibson Lake on the Grand (Neosho) River. This popular day-use area features two boat ramps, providing a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.

The lake itself is a large reservoir formed by the Fort Gibson Dam, offering ample space for recreation. The Neosho River, which feeds into the lake, is a medium-sized river known for its calm, navigable waters, making it well-suited for paddlers. Visitors will find a courtesy dock and other basic amenities to support launching and loading boats.

Non-campers will need to purchase a day-use pass to access the boat ramps, which can be done through Recreation.gov. Campsites are also available at the Wahoo Bay campground for those seeking an overnight stay. Regardless of your plans, Wahoo Bay provides a tranquil launching point to explore the scenic Fort Gibson Lake and Neosho River.
