Skiatook - Northeast (Green Country) | ||||||||
Nestled in the Osage Hills, Skiatook was first established as a trading post in the Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory. Cherokee Chief William C. Rogers founded the trading post south of Bird Creek at a point where the stream was easily forded. Today Skiatook blends many lifestyles into one. The business person, the rancher, the oil field worker, sportsman, farmer and teacher all interact to create a pleasant community-a community with a hometown atmosphere where you will get a tip of the hat, a passing wave, and friendly faces cheering for the hometown team. Shopping in Skiatook ranges from a farmer's market to an antique mall. One of the biggest attractions in the area is the beautiful clear water of Skiatook Lake. The popular lake is the essence of relaxation, with beaches and other areas designated for fishing and water sports. Near the lake is the healing rock, considered by Native Americans to be a special place of healing. The city also offers an 18-hole golf course and the Skiatook Historical Museum. The Skiatook Lake Association hosts "Fantasy in the Sky" each Fourth of July, with a day of celebrity entertainment followed by fireworks at sunset. The city also hosts an annual Pioneer Day festival in October, which include: a "fly in" and display of airplanes; a parade, car show, auction, arts and crafts, entertainment, games and food concessions. All of the events will be held at the airport on South Lombard. For more information, contact the Skiatook Chamber of Commerce at 918-396-3702, or search their website. |
