Lake Murray is a 5,728 acre (23 km²) lake in south central Oklahoma, near Ardmore named for Oklahoma Governor William H. Murray. The lake is wholly within Lake Murray State Park, Oklahoma's largest state park, containing over 12,500 acres (51 km²) of relative wilderness. A state-operated lodge and resort is located on the west shore that serves many visitors to the lake, and serves as a base for numerous cabin and campground facilities near the lake. It is a very popular lake for both fishing and recreational activities, drawing in visitors from as far away as Dallas/Fort Worth and Oklahoma City.
