Fort Gibson Lake lies in the hills of eastern Oklahoma where the Cherokee Indians maintained a self-governing nation for 60 years. The lake was named for nearby Fort Gibson, which played an important role in the military history of Oklahoma. The fort was abandoned in 1857, reoccupied during the Civil War and served as an agency during development of the west. Fully abandoned in 1890, only a reconstructed log stockade now stands on the original site. Location: On the Grand (Neosho) River at river mile 7.7, in Mayes, Wagoner, and Cherokee Counties, about 5 miles north of Fort Gibson, Oklahoma, and about 12 miles northeast of Muskogee, Oklahoma.
