Oktibbeha County Lake is a 480-acre lake just 9 miles west of Starkville off of Highway 82. It has boat rental, camping, and other facilities available. Skiing is permitted on the lake from noon to sunset. It is in a relatively remote area with beautiful, thick forest surrounding the lake and providing wonderful scenery. A couple small creeks enter the lake and can be explored upstream for a quieter, more intimate setting to enjoy the scenery.
