Broken Bow snow

If you’re waiting until summer to enjoy all of what Beaver’s Bend has to offer, you may want to think again. The 6″ snowfall that we were unexpectedly blanketed with in February made for some awesome scenery. I decided to get some pics while it was snowing and climbed the cedar bluff trail overlooking the Mountain Fork River. This is a popular hiking trail when it is warmer but there was no one around this time and the solitude along with a torrent of big flakes drifting down made for a truly unique experience. People tend to think of Colorado and the Midwest for a nostalgic place to stay and get snowed in and maybe traversing the wilderness but that may be as far as some get. Being only three hours from Dallas and close to several other metro areas, our cabins in Broken Bow are a great, close alternative to a full blown vacation in the Rockies and even if for a day or two, one can have one of the best outdoor experiences right in your own back yard. There are still plenty of things to do at Beaver’s Bend this time of year and many people don’t know about this area. Once you’ve been you will definitely want to come back!

Ready for some awesome trout fishing this year?

That’s 40,000 additional trout! One’s chances of filling their stringer just shot up. You can log on to the wildlife department’s website by clicking on the link above for information about the stocking schedules, tips on how to catch trout, fishing licenses / regulations, and other information.

Mountain Fork 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.

Bald Eagles on the Mountain Fork River

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.
