General Info
Arcadia Lake, like Edmond, rests in a part of Oklahoma called the Cross Timbers. It is an unique environment where grasslands intersect with a forest on a bed of red soil. The range of many animals come together in this area giving the Cross Timbers a variety of wildlife unseen in other parts of the country. This is a place where North meets South and East meets West - the Crossroads of America!

The Educational Programs at Arcadia Lake focus on the diversity of plant
and animal life in the Cross Timbers
