Kingston
is a small town located in south-central Oklahoma's Marshall County. As of the 2000 census, the population was 1,390 residents. Kingston is located just north of Lake Texoma, which is one of the largest man-made lakes in the United States. This 89,000-acre lake on the Red River is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the southwest. It is recognized as one of the top fishing lakes in the country and also offers boating, water skiing, windsurfing, hiking, camping and excellent sailing due to the lake's size, depth and miles of sailing shoreline. In addition, several golf courses are available around Lake Texoma, and the lake area includes two wildlife refuges, two state parks, 26 resorts and hundreds of campgrounds. Marshall County, which is bordered by the Washita and Red Rivers arms which form Lake Texoma, is made up of many small communities, including Kingston. Marshall County includes 589 miles of shoreline and the best beaches on Lake Texoma. Kingston is conveniently located approximately halfway between Dallas and Oklahoma City, and less than 2 hours from the Dallas/Fort Worth airport. Both the city of Madill and Lake Texoma State Resort Park have their own lighted, paved airstrips for private planes.
