Strayhorn Landing

About

Strayhorn Landing sits on a peninsula jutting into 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 offers exceptional clarity for swimming, scuba diving, and fishing. The surrounding Ozark foothills feature dense oak-hickory forests and 130 miles of shoreline. The campground provides 40 sites with 30-amp electric and water hookups, including two ADA-accessible sites and two with full sewer connections. Facilities include flush toilets, hot showers, a dump station, swim beach, playground, and boat ramps. Strayhorn Marina sits adjacent to the campground with concessions and additional boating services. Fishing targets include black bass, white bass, striped bass, crappie, and catfish. The trout stream below the dam is one of only two year-round trout fisheries in Oklahoma. Nearby attractions include Tenkiller State Park, Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge, and historic Tahlequah, capital of the Cherokee Nation.
