Lake Carl Blackwell 2 provides convenient public access to the 3,350-acre Carl Blackwell Lake in Stillwater, managed by Oklahoma State University. This is an excellent launching point for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters looking to explore the calm waters of Stillwater Creek's impoundment. The facility includes a dedicated boat ramp designed for easy water access, making it suitable for various watercraft types.
The lake supports a range of water activities including fishing, boating, sailing, and personal watercraft use. Beyond paddling, the surrounding 800-acre recreation area offers additional amenities and nearby hiking and biking trails for those wanting to combine water and land activities. Basic services are available nearby, including the Cowboy Corner bait and tackle shop (405-743-1977) located at 11000 Oklahoma 51 West. The facility operates as part of the OSU recreation complex, which includes camping options with RV hookups and cabins if you're planning an extended visit.
