June is a great time to get outdoors and mix it up a little. Come join us! We will start off with a hike on Ski Jump Trail. Experience this 6.0 mile out and back trail near Ardmore, OK. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 2 hours to complete. This trail is great for hiking, mountain biking, and running, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring. Lake Murray is just 1 1/2 hours from Dallas via I35 North.

You are also welcome to explore Tucker Tower and the Nature Center. Tucker Tower is their most famous landmark. Built in the 1930's which was believe to serve as a retreat for Oklahoma's governors --the structure never served it's original purpose.

After a hike on the trail we will gather for a picnic and that final "cool" down swim. We are keeping it simple: Hotdogs with all the fixin's, chips and potato salad. If you want to bring any other dishes, please feel free to do so. All donations and help with food is graciously accepted.

This lake is amazingly beautiful and has a beach area to swim at with many picnic areas available. There is a $10.00 fee per vehicle to enter the park. You are responsible for getting that park pass. They must be displayed on your car dashboard. We will meet at the park office and go from there.
