Canton Lake is an 8,000-acre reservoir located in northwestern Oklahoma, about 2 miles north of Canton and 18 miles southwest of Fairview on Highway 58. This artificial reservoir on the North Canadian River spans Blaine and Dewey counties and offers approximately 45 miles of shoreline for anglers to explore. Despite being one of Oklahoma's premier walleye fisheries, Canton Lake remains somewhat underfished compared to eastern Oklahoma lakes, which can mean better fishing opportunities for those willing to make the trip. With a maximum depth rarely exceeding 30 feet, the lake's relatively shallow profile doesn't diminish its status as an excellent multi-species fishery.
