Beavers Bend State Park
River · Oklahoma
About this swimming hole
Beavers Bend's state park has a swim beach on Broken Bow Lake and access to the clear, cold lower Mountain Fork River. The river below the dam stays trout-stream cold year-round, a shock in an Oklahoma summer. It is one of the state's most popular parks, so book campsites ahead.
