Canton Lake is a Corps of Engineers dam project about ten minutes from the sad little town of Canton, Oklahoma. There’s a Main Street, but most of the businesses are closed, and many of the buildings are falling apart.
We read online that the town has lost about 30 percent of its population in recent years due in part to dwindling economic opportunities. Someone did paint a nice mural.

On the other hand, the COE campground and our lakeside campsite was really nice with full hookups and decent shower facilities for $12.50/night with our Senior Pass.We spent two nights here. By the end of our stay, temps were hitting 100 with added humidity, so it was time to move on.
