Head to Chicken Creek Campground for tons of fun on Tenkiller Ferry Lake. One of the most popular campgrounds on the lake, it boasts modern facilities, impressive vistas, convenient access to boating and plenty of opportunities to view wildlife. Water skiing, boating, fishing, hiking and swimming are some of the activities enjoyed by visitors. Prevailing winds and secluded coves create an ideal environment for sailing, and scuba divers enjoy the lake's clear waters and high visibility. Fishing is good for black, white and striped bass, crappie and catfish, and the trout stream below the dam is one of only two year-round trout fisheries in Oklahoma, regularly stocked with rainbow trout. Hunting is permitted in parts of the lake area, in accordance with federal and state laws. All campsites are equipped with electric hookups, and the group shelters have electricity too. The park has flush toilets, hot showers, water hydrants, a swim beach, playground, dump station and a boat ramp complex. Of the ten marinas with concessions on the lake, most offer boat and jet-ski rentals, and several have floating restaurants. Tenkiller Ferry Lake is often referred to as "Oklahoma's clear water paradise." The 12,500-acre lake is sourced by the Illinois River and the Baron Fork, both designated Oklahoma Scenic Rivers, and is nestled in the Ozark foothills of Green Country — dense oak-hickory forests, tall bluffs and rolling hills. Its 130 miles of shoreline hold plenty of wildlife such as deer and turkey, and the lake serves as one of the flyways of migratory birds, including bald eagles, common loons and white pelicans. Nearby are Tenkiller State Park, with its nature center and scuba diving park, the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge near Vian, and the historic city of Tahlequah, capital of the Cherokee Nation. The scenic upper Illinois River near Tahlequah is great for canoeing and rafting, and the lower Illinois near Gore offers prime trout fishing.
