CANTON LAKE NEAR CANTON
Reservoir Levels • Weather • Hydrology
Canton Lake is located in Canton, Oklahoma and was created in 1947 by the construction of Canton Dam on the North Canadian River. The lake covers over 7,900 acres and is a popular destination for fishing, boating, and camping. The primary surface flow into the lake comes from the North Canadian River, and the snowpack in the surrounding area contributes to the spring runoff that refills the lake. The lake serves as a water supply source for the city of Canton and surrounding areas, as well as providing irrigation for agricultural use. Recreational activities such as hunting and wildlife viewing are also popular in the area. Despite the lake's popularity, it has faced challenges in recent years such as drought and low water levels, leading to concerns about its sustainability for future generations.
