I’m on my way to go play at Abendigos Restaurant tonight. I get to play my guitar and sing and share a musical experience with the crowd. I have been around the world and must say this is one of THE best restaurants I’ve eaten at. It’s a BYOB, except for the fact that they sell beer & wine coolers. Excellent ambiance as well. The patio is where all the good times roll in the spring/summer/fall months. And Hickory Hill Cabins are located right across Hwy 259 (the main highway thru Hochatown, USA). Convenient if you’ve had too much wine, etc. Come see us soon and experience all this fun!

Have seen LOTS of deer lately in Beaver’s Bend Park and the surrounding area. It is not unusual to see them all year round but they have been out in droves lately and don’t really pay attention to people. How do they know deer season is over? I just happened to have the camera with me this time so here is some footage of some crossing the Mountain Fork River. This is the second time we have seen several deer crossing the river.

The Mountain Fork River is Oklahoma’s only year-round trout stream and holds the state record Brown trout at 17lbs 4 oz.
Anglers often leave bragging about the amount of fish caught and the accessibility of the river which provides plenty of bank fishing and wading areas. The Three Rivers Fly Shop is the authority for fly fishing information and guided trips in the area.
The river runs through the middle of Beaver’s Bend State Park and has many hiking trails that follow the scenic river.

Broken Bow Lake is just one of the many attractions that draw people to the area year after year for many reasons. It is surrounded by the mountains of the Ouachita National Forest with it’s lush, tall pines and hardwoods, making for breathtaking scenery. The steep mountainous landscape and rocky bottom make for incredibly crystal clear water that is home to many species of fish including small- mouth and largemouth bass and crappie which are in good numbers here. The Oklahoma state record largemouth was caught here in 1999 and weighed 11lbs 12oz. Another benefit of the deep, cold water that the lake is blessed with is the trout fishery program the state has perfected over the years on the Mountain Fork River.
Broken Bow Lake is not only known for it’s fine fishing but also is a water lover’s haven. the summer draws people to the calm, clear waters for all kinds of water sports. Wakeboard boats and pontoon style runabouts are abundant when the weather is good but the lake never seems to get crowded. It is big enough that there is always plenty of room whether you are on the open water or you find one of the numerous coves and deep creeks to explore. There are not many lakes, if any, that can boast the beauty, peacefulness, and seclusion that Broken Bow Lake can and still have Luxury cabin rentals just minutes away to relax in style after a long day of play.

Saw a bald eagle today while I was trout fishing on the river with my son who is 11. He (the bird) flew a ways down the length of the river away from me and perched on a tree top. We hopped in the truck and drove down a ways where a couple had spotted it also and we borrowed their binoculars to get a closer look. Pretty cool.
The river as well as Broken Bow Lake are known for the bald eagle population especially this time of year. The trout fishing is also great right now and no fighting crowds to get those premium spots. Book a cabin today and come check it out.
