It’s been 10 years since the state of Oklahoma sold hundreds of acres at Texoma State Park to a private developer that never fulfilled its promise to build an elaborate lakeside resort.

A decade after the state-run Texoma Lodge and Resort was sold to a private company that never fulfilled its promise to develop a multi-million dollar resort there, Gov. Mary Fallin and the Chickasaw Nation on Thursday announced plans for the tribe to build a resort hotel and casino instead.

Lake Texoma State Park was once one of Oklahoma’s most popular parks. Then much of it was sold to a private development firm that has yet to fulfill its promise to build multi-million dollar resort.

Water levels at Lake Texoma are way down, and for many reasons.

At the end of August 2013, Lake Texoma was full of water.

Perry and Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Jan. 17 meant to resolve the issue and let Texas use the water pump.

Lake Texoma is really feeling the effects of the ongoing drought.

Lake Texoma’s level was about 609 feet last week, down from 612 feet two months ago.

Exactly where the border between Oklahoma and Texas lies along the Red River has never been completely clear.
