The Bugtussel Ramp provides access to the South Arm of Eufaula Lake in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma. This is a paved, 1-lane boat ramp with a courtesy dock and paved parking area. It's located off Highway 22, about a 15-minute drive west from McAlester.
Eufaula Lake is a large reservoir with over 600 miles of shoreline, making it a popular destination for boating, fishing, and other water sports. The South Arm where the Bugtussel Ramp is located tends to be shallower, so boaters should follow the marked channel to avoid submerged obstacles. Kayakers and canoeists will find calm, protected coves and inlets to explore, but should be cautious of powerboat traffic in the main channels.
Overall, the Bugtussel Ramp provides straightforward lake access well-suited for small boats, kayaks, and canoes. Paddlers and boaters should use caution, watch for submerged hazards, and be prepared for typical lake conditions on Eufaula.
