If you haven't visited the lake, take the time to do so. Copied from the visitmccurtaincounty.com website: Broken Bow Lake runs deep, and its floor is covered by rocks — not mud — which gives its water a transparent clarity unlike anything you’ve ever witnessed. Covering 14,000 acres and bordered by 180 miles of shoreline, it’s the perfect destination for boating, water sports, swimming, fishing and more. Beavers Bend Marina offers speed boat, houseboat and jet ski rentals to spend a day on the lake with family and friends.

One of the most beautiful lakes you will see. Great for all kinds of fishing. Bass, trout, crappie. So many outdoor adventures to take in. You will not be disappointed.

Broken Bow Lake is a reservoir in southeastern Oklahoma, located on Mountain Fork River and 9 miles northeast of the town of Broken Bow in McCurtain County. It is one of the largest fresh water lakes within the state of Oklahoma, and a popular tourist destination for locals and visitors from neighboring Texas and Arkansas. The lake stretches 22 miles back into the Ouachita Mountain country where its unusual beauty and scenic appeal beckons all sorts of nature enthusiasts. The mountain terrain is densely forested and there are many species of birds native to the area for birdwatchers to enjoy. Hikers may enjoy two available nature trails; the Big Oak Nature Trail and the Beaver Lodge Nature Trail. The Big Oak trail is about a quarter of a mile long and is suitable for use by senior citizens and small children. The rugged and beautiful Beaver Lodge Nature Trail is a two-way trail located near the River Bend area south of the dam and winds along a clear stream through a valley surrounded by pine-covered hills. Numerous park areas located around the lake gives visitors an excellent opportunity for outdoor family fun and relaxation. Recreational facilities include boat launching ramps, camping, picnic sites, beaches, water and sanitary facilities. There are two Oklahoma state parks nearby Broken Bow Lake; Beavers Bend Resort Park and Hochatown State Park. Cedar Creek Golf Course at Beavers Bend is another attraction close to the lake. The climate at Broken Bow Lake offers outdoor sportsmen excellent opportunities for year-round angling, with various species of trout and bass available. Hunting on project lands is equally good for hunting enthusiasts, and with the exception of developed areas and certain Game Preserves, all project lands are open to the public for hunting. Deer are the most important big game species found in the area, though wild turkey and other sport can be found in this area.
