- **Event Name**: Experiment Lake Grand Reopening
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 09:30 am (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Restored. Replenished. Reopened.

Join us at Experiment Lake for the Grand Reopening! The temporary closure began after the lake was refilled following construction of the new dam in 2023. The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) recommended the pause to allow newly stocked fish to establish strong populations, something that benefits every angler in the long run. 

Since the project began, both the City of Woodward and the State of Oklahoma have worked steadily to reintroduce a variety of fish species to the lake, including catfish, bluegill, bass, and redear sunfish. In just 2 short years, over 195,000 fish have been released into Experiment Lake! 

This restocking is a long-term investment in a healthier, more rewarding fishing experience for everyone, and we can't wait to welcome you on Saturday, March 28th for the reopening!

Registration begins at 9:30am. Registration is only necessary if you wish to receive a free giveaway!

The first 100 registrants will receive a free 5-gallon bucket courtesy of Ace Hardware - Elk Supply!

Fishing begins at 10am, and we will have a free hotdog feed at 11am. 

Thank you to Pioneer for donating water bottles, to the Woodward Elks Rodeo Committee for offering to cook hotdogs for our community, and for Chicken Express for offering to provide sweet tea and lemonade to the fishermen and fisherwomen!

Parking is available at Centennial Lane &amp; 34th Street.
