Tenkiller Ferry Lake
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tenkiller Ferry Lake, or more simply, "Lake Tenkiller," is a reservoir in eastern Oklahoma formed by the damming of the Illinois River. The earth-fill dam was constructed between 1947 and 1952 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers for purposes of flood control and hydroelectric power generation. The lake covers 12,900 acres (52 km²) in the Cookson Hills of Cherokee and Sequoyah counties, about seven miles (11 km) northeast of the town of Gore.
