With its wide open water and dozens of coves, Lake Texoma is one of the best boating lakes in the region. If you don't own a boat, you can rent pontoons, fishing boats, ski boats and personal watercraft (jet skis) from marinas and rental businesses around the lake.
Lake Texoma is a reservoir on the Red River along the Texas–Oklahoma border, created by Denison Dam, which was completed in 1944 and is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Tulsa District. The Red and Washita rivers feed the lake, and its shoreline touches Grayson and Cooke counties in Texas and Bryan, Marshall and Love counties in Oklahoma. Towns around the lake include Denison, Pottsboro and Gordonville on the Texas side and Durant, Kingston and Madill on the Oklahoma side.
Most rentals are based at marinas on both the Texas and Oklahoma sides. When you compare rental companies, ask about the type of boat, how many people it holds, fuel policy, deposits, and whether life jackets are included. Rental businesses can list on SearchTexoma, and you can browse them on our Lake Texoma page.
Lake Texoma has invasive zebra mussels. Texas law requires boaters to drain all water from boats and gear before leaving or approaching a lake. Follow the TPWD zebra mussel guidance: clean, drain and dry your boat every time.
