Peyton's Place is one of the oldest businesses in Tahlequah that offers canoe and kayak rental, campgrounds and it's own convenience store and lodging. You can rent a canoe for a certain distance trip, for example, if you choose the five mile trip, they will drop you and your guests off five miles upstream, and you will end your trip at their site. You can also do an overnight rental, where you camp out on the banks of the beautiful Illinois River. This is really a fabulous outing for everyone. We try to go at least two to three times per year. The cost is relatively low for these adventures, especially if you camp out somewhere on the river, rather than renting a cabin. There are a few stores along the river where the canoeing takes place, but Peyton's Place is definitely the one store where you will find everything you might need.
