Lake Tenkiller — the clear, spring-fed reservoir on the Illinois River in Cherokee and Sequoyah Counties — is one of Oklahoma’s most beloved recreational lakes, known for its crystal-clear water, wooded shoreline, and the vibrant diving and boating culture that distinguishes it from the state’s murkier prairie lakes. The lake’s residential and recreational property market spans fishing cabins, retirement homes, and premium lakefront properties along 130 miles of forested shoreline. VistaScapes & Design serves Lake Tenkiller area property owners with outdoor living construction suited to the lake’s distinctive character.
