Located in the lush landscapes of Eastern Oklahoma, Cherokee Nation Sallisaw Creek Park offers the perfect blend of accessibility and seclusion. Visitors are greeted by rolling hills, diverse woodlands and the peaceful 43,000-acre Robert S. Kerr Reservoir with endless natural spaces for rejuvenation.

You have arrived at your destination

While the park feels remote, it’s located just five miles off I-40 and only an hour from Tahlequah, the Capital of Cherokee Nation. For those in the tristate area, it's just a 30-minute drive from the Arkansas border, 1.5 hours from Tulsa, 2 hours from Oklahoma City and 4 hours from Dallas, making it an easy escape into nature.
