Pine Creek Lake is a lake in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma. It is located east of Rattan, Oklahoma and north of Sobol, Oklahoma.
The lake, which was built in 1969, impounds the waters of Little River (Red River), Pine Creek, and Turkey Creek. It is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for flood control, water supply, fish and wildlife, and recreational purposes. The adjacent Pine Creek Wildlife Management Area extends this mission.
Pine Creek Lake comprises 3,750 acres of area and 74 miles of shoreline. Normal pool elevation is 438 feet above sea level. Its flood pool capacity is 465,780 acre-feet, at which time its flood pool is at an elevation of 480 feet above sea level. Norman pool capacity is 53,750 acre-feet. [1]
Pine Creek Lake divides the Little River into upper and lower reaches. It is one of two impoundments on the river, the other being Millwood Lake in Howard County, Arkansas. [2]
