GREATER TENKILLER AREA ASSOCIATION We are a multi-county tourism organization, instrumental in marketing the Lake Tenkiller Area and its destination partners. In addition to this strategy, we strive to promote recreation, economic development, and tourism. Our partners are local businesses, area attractions, surrounding towns and the stakeholders who share our passion for tourism in the area. We give the Greater Tenkiller Area a seat at the table on decisions affecting the Lakes and Rivers.
It’s the soft sound of a Native flute. The focus of a potter shaping clay. Traditions shared by living masters.
