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.
