Your family will love all the things to do in the Beavers Bend area
of Southeast Oklahoma. Our McCurtain County Oklahoma is famous for Broken
Bow Lake, the Mountain Fork River and Beavers Bend Resort Park. We are
truly an outdoor vacation paradise!
Water Sports on Broken Bow Lake
Broken Bow Lake is a large, deep lake surrounded by mountains and forests.
Almost all of the 180 miles of shoreline is public forest land making
the view in any direction full of unspoiled and undeveloped natural
beauty. Bring your own boat or rent almost any kind of watercraft you
can imagine from jet skis to ski boats to large house boats.
Whitewater Adventure & Trophy Trout
If prefer the non-motorized kind of boating then pick up an oar and jump
into a canoe headed down the lower Mountain Fork River. This pristine
mountain stream comes out of the Broken Bow lake Dam and offers great
canoeing the whole family can enjoy. For even more adventure try the
Glover River, the last free flowing river in Oklahoma. Its high flows
(seasonal) are a challenge to expert canoeists.
The first 14 miles of the lower Mountain Fork River are an outstanding
trout habitat with the first 3.8 miles classified as a Trophy section
(no boats or barbed hooks.) The Oklahoma State record for Brown Trout
was set here in April 2005 with a monster 17-pound, 4.64-ounce trophy
trout!
4 Wheel ATV Fun & Mountain Biking
McCurtain County is quickly becoming famous as an outstanding destination
for ATV riders and mountain biker riders. Our large tracts of forest
land offer thousands of acres of riding. There are some suggested riding
areas in the county and riders should be familiar with the rules of
the road. [More…]
Championship Golf
Looking for something a little less strenuous but just as challenging?
Cedar Creek Golf Course has received a 4 ½ stars rating (out
of 5 stars) from Golf Digest magazine. This incredibly beautiful course
stretches along side Broken Bow Lake and was carved out of the adjoining
wilderness area. Fairways are lined with stands of pine, oak and hickory
and you routinely see deer, fox, wild turkey and even bald eagles as
you play.
Family Fun
The list of family fun goes on and on in Southeast Oklahoma. Beavers
Bend Resort Park offers miles and miles of hiking and picnicking opportunities.
The Forest Heritage Center offers a glimpse into the history of forestry
in the Beavers Bend area. Nearby Hochatown Amusements has miniature
golf, go-carts and kid’s amusement rides.
