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
Arcadia Lake is a relatively young body of water.
This lake was constructed as a cooperative effort between
the City of Edmond and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
and opened in 1987.
The normal elevation of Arcadia Lake is 1006 feet with
a surface area of 1,820 acres. It is surrounded
by 26 miles of shoreline. The dam itself is a
rolled earth fill embankment nearly a mile long.
At maximum capacity the lake has an elevation of 1029.5
feet and a surface area of 3,820 acres.
