Lake El Reno was created in 1966 in Canadian County, Oklahoma, near the city of El Reno, by constructing an earthen dam across Fourmile Creek, a tributary of the North Canadian River. The lake has a normal capacity of 875,000 m3, covers a surface area of 690,000 m2 and is surrounded by 6.4 km of shoreline. Its maximum depth is 5.8 m. The lake is operated by the city of El Reno. No city fishing permit is needed, but a state permit is required (as is true for fishing anywhere in the state).
