Thanks so much for being one of the 1400+ subscribers! We Love Lake Tenkiller! We have had record breaking rains in Eastern Oklahoma for the month of April. Please be cautious on Lake Tenkiller. There are numerous underwater hazards. Be especially watchful for submerged stumps, logs, fences and other obstructions -- particularly in shallow water and along the shorelines. The current elevation of the lake is 648.0 and is starting to drop. Normal elevation is 632.0. Several campsites in lower lying areas in the campgrounds have been closed to camping, some additional sites have had the electricity turned off. Elk Creek Campground is closed to camping and all traffic. All boat ramps are being impacted with the lake elevation. Click here for the current lake level

It's time to start thinking about the 2008 fireworks display. This extravaganza will take place on Friday, July 4, 2008 at the south end of the dam on beautiful Lake Tenkiller at dusk. You can expect a great show again this year with the advantage of the holiday being on a Friday. We hope you will come early in the week and stay as long as you can to take in other attractions and events in the area. The event is funded only by businesses and individuals who have a genuine interest in seeing that this fireworks tradition continues for the enjoyment of both lake visitors and surrounding communities. All levels of contributors, from one star to five stars will be listed in the 2009 Greater Tenkiller Lake Visitors Guide as a fireworks contributor. See this year's guide on page 33 for a listing of those who made last year's display possible. The GTAA works diligently to promote the area, while preserving the natural beauty of the lake. With the support of all of our business and residential members, we will continue our efforts to grow and promote our diamond in the rough! |

The 2008 Lake Tenkiller's Fireworks Extravaganza should be the best fireworks display ever for the Lake Tenkiller area! We truly appreciate all of you who sponsor this event and our lake association. If not for people like you caring about our lake, the fireworks display would not be possible for the thousands of visitors who view it.
