Raymond Gary Lake is a reservoir in southeastern Oklahoma, one mile east of Fort Towson, Oklahoma in Choctaw County. It was constructed on Gates Creek in 1956 by Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. Its primary uses are for fishing and general recreation. The lake and the adjacent Raymond Gary State Park were named for Raymond Dancel Gary, who served as governor of Oklahoma from 1955 until 1959. The town limits of Fort Towson were extended in 1979, so that residents at the lake would be enumerated in Fort Towson.
