Attention Non-Residents
The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission adopted new rules in 2025 that require non-residents accessing certain Oklahoma public hunting and fishing areas to check in and out of the area. By checking in and out of these areas, hunters, anglers, shooters, birdwatchers, hikers and any other users can help the Wildlife Department better understand how the area is being used. There is no additional cost associated with checking in or out of an area. There is no limit to the number of check ins for an individual in a year.
Please be aware that Zebra mussels have been found in Lake Ellsworth. Please follow all procedures for washing, draining, and drying your boat.
Lake Ellsworth (Google Map) is located 8 miles south of Apache on State HWY 62.
