Maritime and Anytime: Recreation in Muskogee
Muskogee makes the most of both the land and water, with recreation opportunities ranging from water parks and sports complexes to boating and fishing on the Three Forks Harbor.
Love-Hatbox Sports Complex
Perhaps best known for its water park, the Love-Hatbox Sports Complex has other diverse sports facilities. The 60-acre complex contains 10 baseball fields, eight softball fields, three indoor batting cages, two full-size football fields, 13 soccer fields within the Georgia-Pacific Soccer Complex, a skate park, and over three miles of paved walking and bike trails.
Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, River Country Family Water Park opens its pools, slides, playgrounds, volleyball court and inner tube river to anyone looking to cool off.
Muskogee Swim & Fitness Center
With its competition size pool and gym facilities, the Muskogee Swim & Fitness Center improves the health of Muskogee residents. Classes offered include high intensity body sculpting, yoga, aerobics and even zero-impact aquatic resistance training. Membership options range from an $8 day pass to special corporate deals with businesses.
On the Water
The new $12 million River Center, a multi-purpose events center and plaza, is the crowning glory of Three Forks Harbor, Muskogee's port to the whitecapped waves of the Gulf of Mexico and the serene Great Lakes. Full-service river businesses like Arrowhead Boat Sales and Marina make Three Forks a boating haven, while events like the Kids Fishing Rodeo and Cardboard Boat Regatta teach a new generation to love the water.
State Parks
Visitors to Greenleaf State Park have the options of tent and RV camping or staying in one of Greenleaf's tranquil cabins. In the winter, the heated fishing docks and prospect of seeing a bald eagle are the park's chief attractions.
Lake Eufala State Park offers RV and tent camping, swimming, nature trails and an 18-hole golf course, complete with putting green and pro shop.
