The Cherokee Hills Byway features a variety of attractions ranging from recreational and cultural to historical and natural with a range of locations along the route. Highlights of the drive include Lake Tenkiller and the Illinois River that are carved out by blue grey flint stone, encased by towering bluffs and lined by some of the most picturesque foliage in Oklahoma.

Cherokee Nation continues to develop the Cherokee Hills Byway with master planning and community development.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation and University of Oklahoma Outreach officially oversees the Cherokee Hills Byway program including support for the selected roads, promoting the communities and preserving irreplaceable resources.
