Texoma recreation pact set for Lake Texoma area
An agreement between Army engineers and the National Park Service outlines who manages Lake Texoma facilities on the Texas Oklahoma border. The Army retains jurisdiction over the Red River dam and surrounding area, while the Park Service oversees most of the lake and shoreline with two wildlife refuges and the Cumberland oil field under Army control. Leases, recreational improvements, roads and docks will transition to the Park Service, with final plans subject to engineering approval to protect dam functions and power generation.
