ARDMORE, OK — The Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department will host a dedication of the new courtesy boat dock at Lake Murray Lodge at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, June 12. Participating in the ceremony will be Gov. Bill Anoatubby of the Chickasaw Nation, Senator Frank Simpson (R-Ardmore) and Rep. Tommy Hardin (R-Madill).
The newly constructed dock is located on the east side of the lodge between the lobby and the Blue Heron Restaurant.
