Muskogee, Oklahoma: public land within reach

Muskogee public land ranked by miles

A tag marks the area that put Muskogee on this site; land inside 10 miles is listed before the rest.

The biggest single piece of ground here is Camp Gruber Training Center: 51,840 acres. That list splits into 11 ODWC-managed areas, 2 OLAP tracts, 2 federal areas and 6 lake or park areas. Seasons on McClellan-Kerr WMA follow the statewide dates unless the area special regulations list a change. ODWC lists (918) 625-3910 for hunting questions there. McClellan-Kerr WMA is on the ODWC nonresident check-in list. Webbers Falls Reservoir (Corps) is Corps ground; the Tulsa District hunting page refused scripted reads, so its open areas came from a summary and should be confirmed with the lake office. Refuge rules at Sequoyah NWR sit on top of the Oklahoma seasons and can be stricter. Waterfowl rest on McClellan-Kerr WRP from October 15 to January 31, when it is closed except for permitted hunts. Morning-only waterfowl rules apply on the Wetland Development Units of McClellan-Kerr WRP.
