The area north of Tishomingo has 2 Boy Scout camps, a fish hatchery, and the Blue River Public Fishing and Hunting Area. For those wanting to enjoy the outdoors, there is a dearth of camping areas. But, for anyone with an Oklahoma hunting or fishing license, they can use the Blue River campsites for free. There are 6 areas for camping. Area 2 has sites for RVs, the rest are for tent camping. All primitive campsites (no water or electricity; remote bathroom facilities). Some are located just off the Blue River.
Fishing is good all year around and anglers will find catfish, native bass, bream and panfish. From November 1 through March 31, Blue River is a designated trout stream.
Even though trout fishing and camping are the most popular activities on Blue River PFHA, hunting shouldn't be overlooked. Mixed upland habitat with native prairie grasses and interspersed with forests makes a diverse habitat for wildlife and provides hunters with plenty of hunting opportunities. The most popular seasons include deer, dove, turkey, and quail.
