Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge is located two miles south of Vian, and is the winter home for nearly one million migratory geese and the bald eagle. Tenkiller State Park Nature Center is open seven days a week during summer. A short nature trail follows a rock bluff by the lake. Guided tours are available. Standing Rock Nature Trail (about 1-1/4 miles) is made up of two loops, each with two segments of shorter trails - Big Pine and Three Sisters on the first loop, and Big Cedar and Hi-Knob on the second. The Buzzard Roost Trail at Cato Creek Landing (1-1/2 miles) winds along a circular path beside a creek. The Overlook Nature Trail is located at the Tenkiller Dam Overlook. The first segment of the trail (1-1/4 miles) winds through the woods from the Overlook to Highway lOA (near the Methodist Boys Ranch). The second segment of the trail continues on from Highway 10A and ends at Strayhorn Public Use Area. PARKS OFFER VIEWS OF TENKILLER’S WILDLIFE
Since August 2019, Up Tenkiller and the Illinois River is a bi-yearly cleanup event to clean up trash and debris along the shorelines of Lake Tenkiller and the Illinois River. Through the years, natural disasters and human carelessness have blighted the pristine nuance of our rivers and lakes. The initiative of the clean-up is to restore the beauty of the waters and shorelines that we claim as our own.
