The Hugo Lake Project Office will accept written public comments from May 26 to June 26 to revise and update the Hugo Lake Master Plan.

Public comments for the master plan revision must be submitted in writing to be included for consideration.

Shae Harrison
Lake Manager

A video presentation describing the revision process will substitute in-person public meetings or workshops due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The video presentation along with additional explanatory information and forms are available on the Tulsa District website at https://www.swt.usace.army.mil/Missions/Recreation/Master-Plans/

Master plans outline the guiding strategy U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project offices will implement to manage and develop the recreational, natural, and cultural resources under their charge.

The master plan revision will address changes in regional land use, population, outdoor recreation trends, and USACE management policy. The current Hugo Lake Master Plan was implemented in 1973 and was supplemented in 1982.

The updated master plan will address land classifications, natural, cultural and recreational resource management objectives, recreation facility needs, and habitat for threatened and endangered species.

Questions pertaining to the proposed revision can be addressed to Shae Harrison, Lake Manager, USACE, [e-mail], 580-326-3345.
