The master plan is a vital tool produced and used by the USACE to guide the responsible stewardship of the USACE administered lands and resources for present and future generations. The master plan provides direction for appropriate management, use, development, enhancement, protection, and conservation of the natural, cultural, and manmade resources at Canton Lake. The master plan presents an inventory and analysis of land resources, resource management objectives, land use classifications, a resource use plan for each land use classification, current and projected park facility needs, an analysis of existing and anticipated resource use, and anticipated influences on overall project operation and management. The most recent Master Plan for Canton Lake was last approved in 1975.

Comments, suggestions, and questions can be submitted in writing and can be given to the USACE staff at the Canton Lake Project Office, or mailed to: USACE, Lake Manager, 64600 North 2466 Road, Canton, OK 73724. Comments can also be submitted via email to: CESWT-OD-NR@usace.army.mil
