An unusual feature on Lake Murray is Tucker Tower, which is located prominently on the south shore of the lake and is roughly shaped like a truncated obelisk. The tower was a former summer retreat of Governor Murray that was built by the Works Progress Administration. The retreat is now a nature center, featuring many displays of area wildlife throughout the center. The lake can be reached via Interstate 35, Exit 24, then east two miles (3 km) on OK-77S. OK-77S completely encircles the lake and provides excellent access to all parts of the lake.
