The Oklahoma City Reservoir Loop encompasses the cluster of lakes surrounding the Oklahoma City metropolitan area — Lake Hefner, Lake Overholser, Lake Stanley Draper, and Lake Arcadia within the city limits along with Thunderbird Lake, Draper Lake, and Canton Lake in the broader OKC metro reach — creating the primary recreational boating market for Oklahoma’s largest city and the most concentrated urban lake boating corridor in the state. Lake Hefner on Oklahoma City’s northwest side is the most heavily used urban sailing and boating lake in Oklahoma with consistent northwest winds that make it the premier sailing destination in the state. Lake Thunderbird in Norman — a 6,070-acre reservoir serving the University of Oklahoma corridor — is the largest lake in the immediate OKC metro area and draws consistent boating and fishing traffic from the Norman and Moore communities. Lake Arcadia northeast of Edmond provides a 1,820-acre boating and fishing destination for the rapidly growing Edmond corridor.
