Discovering Monkey Island

Monkey Island is a well-known spot in Oklahoma. It's not a true island that's completely separated by water. Instead, it's a peninsula, like a finger of land reaching into the lake.

Where is Monkey Island?

You can find Monkey Island about 8 miles (or about 13 kilometers) southwest of a town called Grove, Oklahoma. It's located in Delaware County, Oklahoma. The island is a popular place for people who enjoy the lake.

How Big is Monkey Island?

Monkey Island stretches for about 6 miles (or nearly 10 kilometers) from its northern end to its southern tip. A road called State Highway 125 runs right through the peninsula. This highway helps people get to the southern end of the island.
