Copan Lake Area

When you're searching for a relaxing getaway where you can enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature without fighting the crowds, the Copan Lake Area is the perfect choice. Visitors will find an array of outdoor recreation opportunities, as well as all the amenities of civilization in nearby towns like Bartlesville and Pawhuska. Break out the fishing poles and the boat to hit the water, go for a dip at one of the lake's swim beaches, or enjoy an afternoon of hiking or horseback riding on its trail system. Other lakes in the area include Hulah Lake and Bluestem Lake, both of which are also great for fishing and boating, with the latter offering some stunning vistas at Bluestem Falls. The 11,000 acres of public hunting lands around Copan Lake make it a popular destination with hunters.

Beyond the little community of Copan, you can easily cruise to Bartlesville, a thriving city full of attractions, dining, and lodging options in addition to festivals and events throughout the year. Be sure to visit Price Tower, Frank Lloyd Wright's only skyscraper, tour the historic mansion of oil magnate Frank Phillips, and check out the world-class collection at Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve. Head over to Pawhuska, home of Food Network's Pioneer Woman, to witness the community's recent renaissance firsthand. Shop unique local stores, dine at one of the Pioneer Woman's restaurants, and enjoy the surprisingly lively nightlife on offer, then pay a visit to nearby Dewey and discover the history of local legend and silent film star Tom Mix, who once served as the town marshal.
