Oklahoma Agritourism: Come See an Island Filled With Goats at Lake Tenkiller!
Oklahoma Agritourism encourages Oklahomans to take a trip to Lake Tenkiller and see an Island filled with Goats!

Ashley writes for OKLAHOMA about a place where you can experience fishing, cliffs, and goats all at Lake Tenkiller in Oklahoma.

You can find the goats on Pettit Bay, also known as "Goat Island" on the northwestern end of the lake in the town of Pettit.

Many locals have named the goats, so you can call them out by name: Yin-yang, Onyx & Lone Ranger (L-R) are these cuties names.

Sightings are even often seen from across the bay at Six Shooter Resorts.

We invite you to listen to us on great radio stations across the region on the Radio Oklahoma Ag Network weekdays-

Sponsor Spotlight

 
Union Mutual was chartered in 1938 to write property and casualty insurance in the state of Oklahoma. Over the years, Union Mutual has maintained the attitude that started the company and continue to be that company that understands Oklahomans’ insurance needs when they contact any member of the UMIC team.
 
In poor economic times, in times when national insurance companies either stopped writing or completely left the state, Union Mutual has been there for Oklahomans. Today, Union Mutual writes insurance in all 77 counties of Oklahoma through almost 300 agency locations. These agents provide prompt and reliable quotes for most lines of insurance. Just recently, UMIC launched a new product in the preferred market space that has seen unprecedented growth with our rural customer base and falls in line with our Company mantra of “Protection not Politics”, when meeting the needs of our consumers and agents.
 
Monica Collison took over as CEO of Union Mutual in May of 2019. Under her leadership and through the hard work of her Union team, the company has continued to see positive results and productive growth with profit throughout the state of Oklahoma. Union Mutual offers a wide variety of coverage options for Oklahomans. For 82 years, Union Mutual has led the way to protect all of Oklahoma.
