About
Pennington Creek Dam is an earthen dam located on Pennington Creek near Tishomingo, Oklahoma. Its primary functions include flood control and contributing to the local water supply. While the specific address (105 S Ward St) points to a location within Tishomingo, the dam itself is an integral part of the regional water management system and impacts the local ecosystem, including the nearby Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge.

The dam is a water management structure and not a recreational facility featuring managed pools. Natural water temperatures in Pennington Creek would fluctuate seasonally.

This is NOT clean between the beer bottles trash thrown down everywhere. And that's before you get down to the water. When you get to the Shoreline there's a trash can overflowing with more discarded trash everywhere. And every single car here is from Texas,

AHHH IF IT WAS CLOSER TO TEXAS I WOULD GO EVERYDAY. I love this lake, the waters so nice, the little fishes don’t even disturb you at all!! BEWARE YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, the waters cold, but it’s nice if you get used to it. The atmosphere is so clean!! no fishy smell, no garbage smell, just fresh smell of water. better option then the misleading blue river (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)
