Route description

State Highway 150 begins at an interchange with U.S. 69 north of Eufaula. East of the freeway, the roadbed continues as Texanna Road. From the interchange, SH-150 angles northeast, crossing the Deep Fork River arm of Eufaula Lake. Upon reaching the shore, the highway enters Lake Eufaula State Park and turns due north. The highway provides access to Fountainhead Lodge Airpark, then curves around to the west. A sharp turn shortly thereafter turns the highway back to the north. SH-150 then passes through Brush Hill and leaves the state park. The highway turns northwest to avoid the lake, then turns back to the north before coming to an end at Interstate 40 exit 259.[2]

History

State Highway 150 first appeared on the 1965 Oklahoma highway map, implying it was established the previous year. The highway originally served as a spur from Interstate 40 (the adjacent section of which appeared on the state map at the same time as SH-150) to Fountainhead State Park, as Eufaula State Park was known at the time.[3] By 1971, SH-150 was extended southeastward, connecting to US-69.[4] No further changes to the highway have occurred since that time.
