About Texoma
Explore events, businesses, venues, restaurants, attractions, parks, lake recreation and weekend destinations across the Texas and Oklahoma sides of Texoma.
Texoma is a cross-state region spanning North Texas and southern Oklahoma, with Lake Texoma and the Red River forming a central geographic and cultural connection between the two states. Texoma Weekend Guide uses the region as its primary editorial coverage area for local events, businesses, venues, restaurants, attractions, parks, lodging, lake recreation and weekend destinations.
Texoma is commonly used for an interstate region divided between Texas and Oklahoma. The name combines Texas and Oklahoma, while Lake Texoma—created by Denison Dam and designated Lake Texoma in 1944—became one of the region’s defining destinations.
