Hickory Ridge

About

Hickory Ridge Recreation Area is a day-use facility managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the north side of Enid Dam. The area is designed for day visitors seeking swimming, picnicking, and family gatherings rather than overnight camping. Amenities include 38 individual picnic sites each equipped with a grill, serve table, and picnic table, as well as two group picnic shelters available for reservation. The recreation area features a swimming beach with outdoor showers and a life jacket loaner station, two playgrounds for children, a basketball court, and an amphitheater that seats up to 150 people for weddings and special events. Three comfort stations with shower houses serve visitors. The area is nestled among towering native pine and oak trees with scenic views of Enid Lake. This is a day-use area only. No overnight camping is available at Hickory Ridge. Visitors seeking overnight accommodations should explore the other campgrounds at Enid Lake, such as Wallace Creek, Persimmon Hill, or Chickasaw Hill.
