Original US Route 66 Along Lake Overholser, OK





From 1926-1958 US Route 66 was located along the North shore of Lake Overholser, Oklahoma. This section can still be driven and it is considered one of the most scenic sections of Route 66 remaining. What was Route 66 is now named Lake Overholser Drive. The Stonebridge Lake Estates are located immediately between the 1926 and 1956 Route 66 alignments, giving the homes in this development a very special Route 66 distinction. A select few of the houses are located directly on the original 1926 Route 66 alignment and have spectacular views of Lake Overholser and of the large number of classic cars and motorcycles that make the Route 66 pilgrimage.
