Does anyone know what the law is in Oklahoma regarding carry on a private boat?

I know we're not supposed to carry our firearms in state parks, but what about on our boats? My dad and I took the boat out today and weren't sure if we could take our firearms with us out on the water.

State Parks

It is my understanding that you can carry on state parks. You just can't enter any of the state park buildings. Be careful you don't enter any areas that are controlled by the Army Corps of Engineers as they have a no gun policy. Some state parks have a portion that belongs to them (Army Corps of Engineers). Usually around the dam sites.
I am not a lawyer so do your research on the state park lake sites you enter.

Additionally, a LOT of lakes are actually City owned and not State property. Being that the cities are not allowed to make laws prohibiting the lawful carry, this would be allowed. However, even in those city owned ones, you do have to be careful of areas that are Corp of Engineers as previously mentioned.
