Its primary use is recreation, especially camping and fishing. Wes Watkins Reservoir was opened to the public in August 1999 and is considered a relatively young reservoir. The {{convert|1142|acre|km2|0|sing=on}} lake is operated by the City of McLoud as of July 1, 2010. It was formerly managed by Pottawatomie County Development Authority.[1] The reservoir was named in honor of former Oklahoma Congressman Wes Watkins. It was initially known as North Deer Creek Lake.[2] The Shawnee city commissioners approved the transfer of Wes Watkins Reservoir recreational operations and management to the city of McLoud, beginning July 1, 2010.[3] See also
