The duration of Swadley's probation was incorrect in an earlier version of this story.

State tourism officials announced Wednesday, Oct. 28, the 6,000-square-foot restaurant, formerly home to Swadley's Foggy Bottom Kitchen and Lookout Kitchen , is expected to open this winter. “Lake Murray is one of Oklahoma’s most visited state parks, and we want every part of the experience we provide there to reflect what makes it such a special destination,” said Amy Blackburn, executive director of the state tourism department. “Bringing Chicken Shack into the lodge gives our guests another quality amenity and a place to gather and enjoy their time at the park.
