About Hickory Ridge

Nestled on the northern shores of Enid Dam, Hickory Ridge Recreation Area welcomes families and groups to a sun-drenched day-use paradise where sandy beaches meet shaded picnic groves. Whether you're planning a lakeside wedding in the amphitheater, shooting hoops on the basketball court, or watching kids splash in the swimming area, this versatile venue has become a beloved gathering place for celebrations and everyday escapes alike.
Hickory Ridge is described as a day-use recreation area with 38 individual picnic sites, two picnic shelters for family gatherings/reunions, playgrounds, and an amphitheater. Overnight camping is not described.
Natural Features and SceneryThe recreation area's pavilions and picnic sites are strategically positioned to capture sweeping views of Enid Lake's sparkling waters, while towering native pines and sturdy oaks provide natural canopies of dappled shade. The amphitheater takes full advantage of this lakeside setting, creating a stunning backdrop for events and performances. Beyond the manicured recreation spaces, the surrounding woodlands come alive with wildlife—watch for white-tailed deer browsing at dawn, squirrels and chipmunks scampering among the trees, and raccoons emerging at dusk. Butterflies dance through sunny clearings while songbirds fill the forest canopy with their calls, making every visit a chance to reconnect with nature.
