Hugo Lake WMA, Kiamichi River, Long Creek, OK E
A kayak paddle route in the Hugo WMA, Hugo Lake area of Oklahoma. The launch is at the end of the Twin Oaks Access Road off Highway 93 just north of Hugo OK. The trail goes north first to investigate some areas not explored in earlier trips (yellow dot turnarounds are shown on the map), and then heads south on Hugo Lake. I went up Long Creek to the Highway 93 bridge and then back to the launch site. A bit windy on the lake that day. What a nice place!
Above: Sunrise early launch at the Twin Oaks Road launch on Hugo Lake.
Above: Finally, a landing spot somewhere up Long Creek.
Above: Perfect.
Above: Water flooded an old unused road at the most northerly turnaround of the route. Plants on each side curved inward to form a natural tunnel, and the sunlight hit it just right. Absolutely magical.
