Information related to the draft shoreline management plan, public comment forms, and video of the shoreline management presentation, are available on the Tulsa District website at https://www.swt.usace.army.mil/Missions/Recreation/Shoreline-Management-Plans/.

The SMP addresses the rules and guidelines govern private shoreline uses, such as private boat docks, vegetation modification and similar uses of USACE property.

The updated plan will incorporate changes to federal laws and regulations related to public land management. The SMP is intended to be complementary to the 2016 Fort Gibson Lake Master Plan.

The current Fort Gibson Lake SMP was implemented in 1996.
