Photos of the damaged parking lot below lake Eufaula Dam in Oklahoma as the dam currently releases 48,000 cubic feet per second.


Here are photos of the parking lot below Eufaula Dam as the dam currently releases 48,000 cubic feet per second. The album also contains photos of recreation areas.

Heavy rains in May required water releases of 172,000 cubic feet per second. Flooding of the area below the dam caused significant damage to the parking area.

The Tulsa District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is working around-the-clock to assess and repair damages caused by recent rainfall. We appreciate your continued patience as our rangers, maintenance personnel, engineers and hydrologists work together to return reservoir levels to normal and repair our recreation areas.

Recreation opportunities are still available at Lake Eufaula and at other Corps of Engineers reservoirs throughout the Tulsa District. Please be careful, and alway wear your lifejacket.

You can find reservoir levels for Corps of Engineers Lakes in our district at ---------> http://www.swt-wc.usace.army.mil/old_resvrept.htm.
