About Pioneer Cove Picnic Shelter
Overview
Pioneer Cove Day Use Area is situated along the banks of Kaw Lake in north central Oklahoma. It is located near Kaw City Oklahoma and Pioneer Cove Marina and convenient to several recreational day use areas.
Recreation
The lake and river are known for producing some of Oklahoma's largest catfish, as well as crappie, white bass, and walleye, making it a popular destination for anglers.
Hunters' skills are tested with excellent populations of whitetail deer, turkey, quail, rabbit, and squirrel. During the fall waterfowl seasons Kaw Lake often attracts large numbers of migrating ducks and geese.
During the winter visitors are likely to spot migrating bald eagles, as Kaw Lake has one of the biggest populations in the state.
Natural Features
The lake covers 17,000 surface acres and has 168 miles of shoreline. Completed in 1976, the dam and lake help provide a recreational oasis for outdoor enthusiasts of all types.
