The Illinois River is a free-flowing stream that flows cool and clear through remote parts of Oklahoma. It cuts through steep and rocky bluffs as it stretches from Arkansas to Tenkiller Lake in Oklahoma. Several outfitters service the entire river and all levels of paddlers enjoy it. There is good fishing and it can be run year-round. This is the last section of the Illinois River and begins at the Home Road Public access. It flows through a scenic agricultural terrain and takeout is at Carter’s Landing-just before Ten Killer Lake.
