Fuqua Lake is a reservoir located in Stephens County, Oklahoma, about 21 miles (34 km) northeast of the city of Duncan on State Highway 29.[2] Constructed in 1962, it is the largest of four reservoirs that comprise the public water supply for Duncan.[a]
The lake was reportedly named for Herbert Breedlove (Babe) Fuqua, an oil businessesperson and politician from Fort Worth, Texas.[citation needed]
It is impounded by an earthen dam that was constructed in 1962.
