General Description:
Camp Sasakwa is a 517.02± acre recreational property along the South Canadian River in Hughes County, Oklahoma, offering a remarkable combination of river frontage, large ponds, rolling timber, elevated bluffs, a natural cave, diverse wildlife habitat, and more than a century of history. Located approximately 13 miles south of Holdenville and 29 miles from Ada, the property feels remarkably secluded once you leave the road and enter the timber.
The land itself is the story here. Elevations range from approximately 750 to 920 feet, creating 170 feet of relief across a forested, rolling landscape. The terrain moves through timbered ridges and draws before reaching an elevated bluff overlooking the South Canadian River. From the higher ground, the property opens to impressive views across the river corridor and surrounding countryside, creating a completely different setting from the lower and more protected portions of the ranch.
The natural cave adds another layer to the property and reinforces the feeling that there is always something else to discover. Combined with the bluffs, draws, elevation changes, and river corridor, it's the kind of land that invites you to get off the road and explore on foot.
Water is another defining feature of Camp Sasakwa. The South Canadian River runs along the property, while two ponds—each approximately 2.5± acres or larger provide substantial water away from the river. The ponds offer fishing opportunities for bass, bluegill, and catfish while adding another recreational element to the property.
The timber changes as you move across the ranch, adding considerably to the character of the land. In the western portion of the property, magnificent bur oaks, sycamores, and walnut trees line the drainage, creating one of the more impressive natural settings on the ranch. These mature trees, combined with the river-bottom timber, wooded ridges, and secluded draws, give different portions of Camp Sasakwa their own distinct feel.
The variety of terrain also creates excellent wildlife habitat. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, waterfowl, dove, and wild hogs are found in the area, and the combination of river bottom, ponds, mature timber, draws, ridges, and elevation changes provides a diverse mix of cover, travel corridors, and water.
Hunting is certainly part of the opportunity here, but it doesn't define Camp Sasakwa. There is plenty or room for hiking, trail riding, fishing, camping, exploring, and creating a private retreat but the diversity of the land is what makes the property special. However, several large-acreage neighbors do dramatically increase the opportunity to grow mature bucks on this tract!
And then there is the history...
