The put in coordinates are wrong.  They should be 34.361950, -96.590582. Says Johnny Johnson

The scenic beauty of Johnston County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. The put-in location is a short drive from Ada, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Oklahoma you might find the rivers here
    a bit more manageable, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers in this state are not as hard as elsewhere. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations
you might end up sleeping in your car. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good spots for that around here. The campgrounds here at Blue River are pretty good. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. On this section  
you do get some distance, it's good length for a morning trip. This section of Blue River in Oklahoma is 9.5 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-III section of whitewater.

Briefly about the general area:
You're sure to encounter some fine people from Coleman here. The yearly precipitation here at Blue River is about average. May is the month that gets the most rain, and January is the month with the least moisture. For the duration of the long summer days at Blue River temperatures are generally in the 90's; the night is fairly cooler of course, mostly in the 70's.
