The Yukon center is about 4 miles east of The Palace Event Center and 7 miles west of Southern Nazarene University.
Yukon experiences four seasons: cold winters, mild springs, hot and sometimes rainy summers, and pleasant, warm autumns. If you want to spend time at the lake, visit the Yukon area in the summer. The fine summer weather offers the ideal time to plan an outing to Oklahoma City with Flat Tide, one of the largest stand-up paddleboard operations in the country. You'll gain a whole new perspective on the landscape from atop a paddleboard, paddling on Lake Overholser.
Year-round, there's something fun and family-friendly happening in Yukon. The year kicks off with a grand firework display for New Year's Day, and in February, the Kid's Trout Fish Out invites children accompanied by adults to hook a rainbow or golden trout at Dale Robertson Center Pond and vie for gift cards and prizes.
Head to Chisholm Trail Park for Freedom Fest in July or come on Labor Day to tuck into tasty food truck fare while you enjoy live music and a fireworks display. Those boasting Czech heritage will never forget a visit during the annual Czech Fest, held the first weekend in October. The event includes a parade with candy thrown to children in the crowd, carnival rides, a car show, and plenty of authentic Czech performances and cultural experiences to enjoy.
Runners should plan a visit during the Chill Your Cheeks 5K in early November, and come Christmas, the holiday lights display is simply breathtaking. Kids will particularly love the Polar Express-themed train ride and lights display during the winter holiday season.

I went to see my daughter who lives in Yukon.
No comment on the area, as I was in and out, but have stayed there numerous times and it's easy in and out of the property even with a large horse trailer.
Nice places to eat and the locals are very friendly.
