About
Sandy Beach Picnic Shelter is located at the Sandy Beach Day Use Area along the banks of Kaw Lake in Osage County, Oklahoma, approximately 12 miles east of Ponca City. The reservable group shelter is situated near the dam and Hideaway Marina, offering lakefront access and capacity for up to 250 guests. The day-use area features a designated swim beach, volleyball court, vault toilet, and picnic facilities. Campfires are allowed at the shelter and pets are permitted on leash. This is strictly a day-use facility with gates opening in the morning and closing at dusk; no overnight camping is available. Kaw Lake covers 17,000 surface acres with 168 miles of shoreline and is known for excellent fishing including large catfish, crappie, white bass, and walleye. During winter months, the lake attracts one of Oklahoma's largest populations of migrating bald eagles.
