Heyburn Lake was named after the community of Heyburn, a post office from 1911-1922, located near the place where the St. Louis-San Francisco Railroad crossed Polecat Creek. The project is located on Creek lands in the former Indian Territory. Many of the towns surrounding the project began as trading posts and developed as settlements as the railroads moved west. Heyburn Lake lies in the sandstone hills of the Osage section central lowlands in a picturesque setting of grassland and gently sloping hills. Post Oak, Blackjack, and other species of oak thrive in the perimeter lands with a sprinkling of Hickory, Ash, Elm, and Cottonwood trees. In the spring, flowering wild plum and redbud trees add color to the soft, green landscape. The project offers extensive opportunities for outdoor recreational activities. Campsites and picnic facilities are available for your enjoyment and Corps of Engineers park rangers will be happy to assist in assuring you a pleasant visit to the project. Services and supplies are available on access roads leading to project areas.
