Winding through the Cookson Hills of northeastern Oklahoma is a sparkling, 60-miles-plus scenic waterway.  The Illinois River cuts through steep and rocky bluffs, creating a breathtaking landscape for visitors.  Shortleaf pine, red and white oak, hickory, sycamore, dogwood and redbud trees surround the river, providing shade and wildlife habitats for deer, foxes and a myriad of bird species including bald eagles.
​
Recreational opportunities abound in this picturesque landscape, especially along the portion of the river that flows parallel to SH-10 northeast of Tahlequah.  A float trip is the most popular way to experience the Illinois River; embark on a leisurely ride on the cool water and take in all the river has to offer.  With so many outfitters and campsites nearby, you have everything you need already along the river.  All you have to do is arrive.
