Docks have been ordered and a 50-year lease was signed that will allow Cross Timbers development company to begin work on building a new marina in Mannford. The first phase of construction on Lake Keystone is expected to conclude in mid-May, and will include 130 boat slips.

The completed project would include more than 400 slips, a restaurant, boat sales and repair shops and a heated fishing dock. Officials with Cross Timbers announced at an August Chamber of Commerce meeting that the fully developed complex would create several dozen jobs, but the main benefit would be a growth in the sales tax base of Mannford.  Click here to see how they have developed CrossTimbers Marina in Skiatook.
