Sixshooter Camp

Sixshooter Camp provides access to Tenkiller Ferry Lake in the scenic Cookson Hills of eastern Oklahoma. This non-reservable recreation area features boat ramps with courtesy docks, making it convenient for launching kayaks, canoes, and motorboats. The facility includes camping amenities such as RV and tent sites, water and electric service, flush toilets, hot showers, and a nearby marina with concessions.

The Illinois River at this location is a major waterway with substantial flow—averaging over 27,000 cubic feet per second—and a moderate gradient of 0.3 feet per mile. Paddlers should be prepared for a large river system with moderate current. The lake setting provides calmer water conditions compared to the river itself, making it suitable for a range of paddling abilities. With 24 boat ramps available around Tenkiller Ferry Lake and multiple marinas offering rentals and dining, this access point is well-positioned within a popular recreation area.
