Tenkiller, although not all that big, is a beautiful, clean lake. I used to teach scuba there. Count me in.

Is the best place to launch these big boats still at the dam site ramp, or is the ramp at Chicken Creek long/wide enough?

I'm sure I could round up a few guys from NW AR to join us.

ddavis, Tenkiller State Park at Pine Cove is where all the really big boats launch (50 feet and up). For guys up to say 36 feet, There are a lot of options. Strayhorn Marina ramp is what I use and have seen boats up to 32 feet launch there. Chicken Creek also has a big ramp. I friend launches his 50 foot Wellcraft from there. These are on the south side of the lake where most of the lodging is. Look forward to it!

How big is the lake? Whats there to do there, ie are there a bunch of restaurants, bars, party coves or is it a more laid back lake where the fun is at people's private docks?

Attached is a link that gives some information on the lake. It is a pretty laid-back vibe with several small restaurants and a party cove that is mostly drunk 20 and 30 something's in Daddy's wakeboard boats. We usually make our own party with our friends in a more low key cove or at our private dock. We're definitely not against partying, but prefer music other than music strewn with "Mutha fuka" language. The lake is only 30 miles long, not a monster like LOTO, but not the waves and wakes like it either.
