Tenkiller Ferry Lake:
The fishing at Lake Tenkiller is fantastic. This 13,000-acre lake is a haven for largemouth and spotted bass, and in the spring, you can catch white bass as they make their annual spawning run into the lake’s headwaters. MarVal Resort, on the Lower Illinois River below the Tenkiller dam, is the place to catch rainbow trout.
Boating is another option and even if you don’t own a boat, you can still have boating fun at Lake Tenkiller. Several of Lake Tenkiller's marinas rent pontoon and ski boats, and personal watercraft such as Jet Skis.
Swimming beaches are found at both of Lake Tenkiller’s state parks and are popular with summer visitors.
If you prefer to experience the lake from beneath the water’s surface. Lake Tenkiller State Park is home to a dedicated scuba park and Nautical Adventures Scuba in Cookson offers dive air, equipment sales and rental, scuba courses and dive tours. Diving here is particularly enjoyable because of Tenkiller’s clear water.
Along with its excellent fishing, Lake Tenkiller offers visitors world-class bird watching opportunities. Songbirds and waterfowl are lakeside favorites, while bald eagle viewing is a popular wintertime activity at the nearby Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge. Guided eagle and loon tours take place most Saturdays from January through March.
Lake Tenkiller State Park has a terrific nature center, which is the site of numerous activities and exhibits. The nature center often offers programs on bird watching, plant identification, and animal species and habitats.
