Learn to Row

After years of watching construction of the new Zink Lake project and low-water dam, the reality of consistent and predictable water has given the Tulsa Rowing Club new life and a bright future.

With Zink Lake now full of water, we want to invite ALL in the community who have ever wondered what it would be like to row in Tulsa to join us on the water and experience one of the most exciting sports in the world!
