About

Wilson Point Day Use is a large recreational area situated in a forested expanse along the banks of Hugo Lake in southeast Oklahoma. Managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, this day-use facility provides visitors with a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities including fishing, swimming, picnicking, and lake access. Hugo Lake is well-known for its exceptional fishing, with opportunities ranging from early season sand bass and slab crappie to late season fall bass. The lake also provides excellent catfishing during summer months. Wilson Point features a sandy swimming beach, one of three designated swimming areas on Hugo Lake. The surrounding area offers over 25,000 acres of land available for hunting, with wildlife including waterfowl, bobwhite quail, dove, whitetail deer, mink, fox, and beaver. Hugo Lake Dam was completed in 1974 on the Kiamichi River, 18 river miles upstream from its confluence with the Red River. The dam provides flood control, water supply, and fish and wildlife management for nearby communities while creating a recreational oasis for outdoor enthusiasts.
