New listing
Pettit Bay Campground on Tenkiller Ferry Lake is a well-kept waterfront facility with convenient access for boating, swimming and wildlife viewing. It is located near the historic town of Tahlequah and attracts many campers who return year after year. Boating, fishing, water skiing, hiking and swimming are among the activities enjoyed here. 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 bass, white bass, 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. The campground has both electric and non-electric sites, with flush toilets, hot showers, water hydrants, a swim beach, playground, dump station, and boat ramps with courtesy docks. A marina with concessions is adjacent to the campground; of the ten marinas 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 foothills of the Ozark Mountains in the northeastern part of the state. This area, known as Green Country, is surrounded by dense oak-hickory forests, tall bluffs and rolling hills. The lake's 130 miles of shoreline hold plenty of wildlife such as deer and turkey, and it 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.
