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 prospects of seeing a bald eagle are the park's chief attractions.



Meanwhile, Lake Eufaula State Park offers RV and tent camping, swimming, nature trails and an 18-hole golf course, complete with putting green and pro shop.

Fishing

Muskogee is surrounded by five lakes that offer a wide variety of activities such as boating, swimming, hiking, camping and fishing. Anglers can especially enjoy destinations such as Lake Eufaula, Tenkiller Lake and Fort Gibson Lake, where sportsmen will find black bass, white bass, crappie, catfish and panfish.

Golf and Tennis

Try to hit 'em long and straight at the three golf courses within Muskogee's city limits – Cobblestone Creek, Eagle Crest and Muskogee Golf & Country Club. If tennis is your racket, Honor Heights Park, Rotary Park and Spaulding Park all have public-use courts.

Cherokee Casino
