Cherokee and Sequoyah counties in Oklahoma offer an unforgettable blend of natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture. Nestled at the foot of the Ozarks, Cherokee County is home to the scenic Illinois River, perfect for rafting with friends and family, kayaking, fishing, and camping. Just minutes away from the River we boast the breathtaking beauty of Lake Tenkiller, known for its crystal-clear waters, diving spots and premiere fishing year ‘round. Tahlequah, the historic capital of the Cherokee Nation, offers unique cultural experiences, including museums, art galleries, and traditional events that celebrate the heritage of the Cherokee people.

Neighboring Sequoyah County offers its own outdoor adventures, with the stunning landscapes of the Cookson Hills and the tranquil waters of Robert S. Kerr Reservoir. History enthusiasts will love visiting the Sequoyah’s Cabin Museum, where they can learn about the life of the Cherokee leader Sequoyah, who developed the Cherokee syllabary. Both counties boast charming small towns, welcoming communities, and local festivals, making them a perfect getaway for nature lovers, history buffs, and anyone looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by Oklahoma’s natural beauty and cultural richness.
