Lake Hobart

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lake Hobart, also known as Rocky Lake, is a reservoir in Washita County, Oklahoma, just to the northwest of Rocky, off U.S. Route 183 and the N2200 and N2190 roads. The reservoir is entered by Little Elk Creek, and was created as part of the Washita Basin Project in the 1950s to improve water supply in the area.[1][2] An aqueduct flows in the area, providing water to Hobart, Oklahoma, several kilometres to the south. [3]It is popular with fisherman and boaters.[4] The Grissom Cemetery lies near the northern side of the lake.
