The lake covers approximately 1,500 acres and was constructed in 1919 to provide water to a treatment plant. According to USGS, its caoacity is 17,100 acre feet. The average depth is 6 feet and the maximum depth is only 13 feet. U.S. Route 66, "The Mother Road", was situated along the North shore of Lake Overholser from 1926 to 1958. A 1958 Route 66 improvement project created a new alignment for the highway that relocated the roadbed about 1/4 mile North of the lake. The original 1926 section of Route 66 still exists and was renamed North Overholser Drive. It runs south of the Stonebridge Lake Estates and Ramsey Lake and is considered one of the most scenic sections of the original Route 66.

I am a landscape and nature photographer living in Choctaw, Oklahoma. I love to take pictures of any scene that catches my eye. I spend most of my time at work, but enjoy my time taking photos from anywhere that I might be at the time. If you look hard enough you can find a picture in anything and anywhere. I love to travel to new places with my family and use my camera to remember where I have been and how beautiful it was. I really enjoy the Smokey Mountains, Arizona, Kentucky, and Texas.I can't wait to see even more and find more places to photograph.
