Black Dog 2

**Location & Access:** Black Dog Park Boat Ramp is located on the northwest side of Skiatook Lake, just off Highway 20 in Skiatook, Osage County—approximately 40 miles northwest of Tulsa. The ramp provides convenient access to the Hominy Creek river system and its impoundment on Skiatook Lake.

**What to Expect:** This is a reservable facility managed through Recreation.gov, requiring an activity pass for use. Skiatook Lake offers 2,675 acres of gently rolling terrain surrounded by Blackjack and Post Oak forest interspersed with tallgrass prairie. The lake features a meandering shoreline ideal for kayaking and canoeing. Paddlers can also access nearby Birch Lake (approximately 1,137 acres on Birch Creek) as an alternative paddling destination in the area.

**Planning Your Visit:** Reserve your activity pass in advance through Recreation.gov. This is a good option for recreational paddlers and boaters seeking calm water paddling on a well-developed lake system in northeastern Oklahoma.
