Cherokee County, Oklahoma

Cherokee County is in the northeastern part of Oklahoma. It’s a place where history and nature come together. The Illinois River cuts through the county, perfect for fishing and floating.
Tahlequah is the county seat and is also the capital of the Cherokee Nation. Cherokee heritage is everywhere here. You can visit the Cherokee Heritage Center to learn more about their culture and history.
The county has some beautiful scenery too. Tenkiller Lake is a favorite for boaters and swimmers in the south. Fall brings a burst of color to the Ozark foothills. It’s quiet here, but not boring.
