Overview
Blaine Park is located on Canton Lake in northwest Oklahoma on the North Canadian River just 2.5 miles from the town of Canton. The area hosts a large number of campers, picnickers, boaters, fishermen and hunters every year as one of the few places in western Oklahoma to offer so many activities.
Recreation
Canton Lake is known for its fishing opportunities, especially walleye fishing.

Use of personal watercraft, tubing and water skiing are popular on the broad expanse of water paralleling the dam where winds are subdued and the lake's gently sloping sandy beaches are inviting for swimmers and sunbathers.
