Skunk
Island
This site is only accessible by boat
and is the smallest island North of the dam. The island has a triangular
shape and has everything from walls to gradual slopes.
On the East side of the island; you will find ledges that drop
off to over 120' in 12-15' drops. These ledges hold about every
species of fish in Lake Tenkiller. Bass will hover from ledge to
ledge depending on time of day and water temperature. Catfish love
the area due to the amount of bait fish that also hang around the
ledges. This is one of the best locations for spearfishing (be sure
to check the new state regulations, we have several changes this
year).
The west side to the island is very shallow and divers can
find several home sites. All that remains of the homes are the
cement slabs but it's also a really good place to find old bottles
and horseshoes from the turn of the century. Make sure to "fly" a
divers down flag while diving the island. This is a very popular
location for pontoon boats to pull up and enjoy the gravel beach.
