McGee Creek Reservoir is a reservoir in Atoka County, Oklahoma. It impounds the waters of McGee Creek and several smaller streams, including Potapo, Panther, Little Bugaboo, Bear, Blue, Mill, and Crooked creeks, all of which are tributaries of Muddy Boggy River. According to the Bureau of Reclamation (BuRec), the reservoir was designed to extend up McGee Creek and up Potapo Creek when the water is at "conservation level. McGee Creek Lake is bordered by the McGee Creek Wildlife Management Area, the McGee Creek Natural State Scenic Recreation Area, and McGee Creek State Park. The combined effect of these protected lands is to afford the area the same rural and isolated nature it has always known. Description Reservoir McGee Creek Lake is east of Atoka; west of Antlers and north of Farris, Oklahoma The reservoir, which filled at the completion of the United States Bureau of Reclamation McGee Dam in 1987, consists of surface area and of shoreline. Its pool elevation is above sea level and it holds . At flood stage its pool elevation is above sea level and its storage capacity rises to . The reservoir has a maximum depth of at the dam when the water is at conservation pool level. Dam and river outlet The dam is an earth-filled structure that is long and high across McGee Creek. An earthen dike long and high, blocks several saddles on the west side of the reservoir rim. A riprap blanket prevents erosion of the upstream sides of both the dam and the dike. The river outlet works located on the east side of the dam release water to McGee Creek under extreme conditions. The works include an intake structure, three conduits (each about in diameter), a stilling basin, associated gates and controls. The discharge channel to McGee Creek can pass flows ranging from to per second. Municipal water outlet Water from the lake is routinely pumped to municipal consumers via pipeline. The municipal outlet works has a bypass that diverts directly downstream to McGee Creek. This provides a constant stream of water that is beneficial to marine life. The river outlet works, located on the east side of the dam, handle this function. A separate intake leads to three conduits (each diameter), which terminate in a stilling basin, that has a single pipe leading to the three variable-capacity centrifugal discharge pumps. The pumps discharge into a surge tank at
