Spring Creek
The Spring Creek that feeds this lake originates north of the lake and just south of Oklahoma State Highway 33, at a point southwest of Crawford, Oklahoma in Roger Mills County. After flowing south and being impounded by the lake, the creek continues generally south in Roger Mills to become a tributary of the Washita River. This creek is not to be confused with at least five other creeks in Oklahoma with the “Spring Creek” name, nor with numerous other watercourses named Spring Creek in other states and countries.
