Taylor's Ferry South Campground Tour.

Worth a stop

Historic Fort Gibson, established in 1824, served as an important military post on the western frontier for close to 70 years. Now a National Historical Landmark, the site is open to the public year round. Volunteers reenact the lifestyle of the late 1800s during various events held throughout the year. A reconstructed log stockade, and original barracks, hospital, bakehouse and other structures still stand today.

Natural features

The area around Taylor Ferry South is primarly an oak-hickory forest; however, the entrance road is lines with pines. Most of the rocky shoreline within the campground has a gradual slope to the water's edge for easy access. A man made sandy swim beach with playground equipment is located across the highway from the campground.

Recreation

The nearly 20,000-acre lake offers excellent boating and swimming opportunities. Anglers enjoy fishing for black bass, white bass, crappie and several varieties of catfish and panfish. The lake's 225 miles of shoreline are home to thousands of acres of public hunting lands, where white-tailed deer, bobwhite quail, mourning dove, duck, geese, cottontail rabbit and squirrel roam.
