Elk Creek Landing

About

Elk Creek Landing sits on the northeastern tip of Tenkiller Ferry Lake, often called "Oklahoma's clear water paradise." The 12,500-acre lake is fed by the Illinois River and Baron Fork, both designated Oklahoma Scenic Rivers, and is nestled in the Ozark foothills surrounded by dense oak-hickory forests and rolling hills. The campground offers approximately 40 sites, with about half equipped with 30-amp electric hookups. Facilities include a comfort station with flush toilets and hot showers, water hydrants throughout, a dump station, and fire rings at sites. An on-site boat ramp provides direct lake access, and a marina with concessions is nearby. Fishing is excellent for black bass, white bass, striped bass, crappie, and catfish. The tailwater below the dam supports one of only two year-round trout fisheries in Oklahoma. The lake's 130 miles of shoreline and clear waters attract scuba divers, sailors, and water skiers. Wildlife includes deer, turkey, and migratory birds such as bald eagles and white pelicans.
