Excerpt from Final Environmental Impact Statement, General Management Plan: Chickasaw National Recreation Area, Oklahoma; July 1980
Chickasaw National Recreation Area through a general management plan. This Recreation Area was established in l976 by joining the former Platt National Park with the former Arbuckle National Recreation Area by means of a connecting corridor of land. New facilities are proposed to realize the recreational opportunities offered by the larger area; these include a visitor center/headquarters adjacent to the city of Sulphur, a -mile biking/hiking trail, a -mile hiking trail, a net of 32 additional campsites (adding 59 and deleting three comfort stations, a campground sewage collection system, and Il small structures for park protection and maintenance. A shallow overflow channel will be constructed to provide a floodwater bypass around Travertine Nature Center. An artesian well will be capped so that its flow may be regulated, decreasing the volume if feasible. Research is proposed into vegetative mosaics, water management, wildlife studies, flood conditions, and visitor use/resource preservation relationships. Carrying capacities are provisionally established for camping use (468 individual and 20 group sites) and for boat use (600 at one time), within the general level of 2 million visitors, to be monitored and adjusted by management as visitor preferences and resources factors are measured.
