About Outlet Channel (Enid Lake)

Nestled below Enid Lake's dam, Outlet Channel Recreation Area beckons day-trippers with its perfect blend of fishing, cycling, and lakeside leisure. Whether you're casting a line from the fishing pier, gathering under one of three group shelters, or exploring the trails by foot or bike, this popular recreation spot offers 27 individual picnic sites and all the amenities needed for a memorable day outdoors.
A day-use recreation area focused on picnicking and fishing with individual picnic sites, group picnic shelters, and day-use amenities. The information provided describes picnic and day-use facilities rather than overnight camping facilities.
Natural Features and SceneryTowering native pines and stately oaks create a natural canopy throughout the recreation area, their shade dappling the pavilions and picnic sites below. The surrounding woodlands come alive with the chatter of squirrels and chipmunks, while white-tailed deer browse quietly at dawn and dusk. Raccoons leave their tracks along the shoreline, and butterflies dance between wildflowers in sunny clearings. Geese glide across the water as songbirds fill the air with melody, and everywhere you turn, glimpses of the shimmering lake peek through the trees, reminding you why this peaceful spot has become a favorite among nature lovers.
