Southeast
Oklahoma is full of attractions for tourist visiting the area.
The most prominent attraction of the area is
Broken Bow Lake. Broken Bow Lake is located just east
of US Highway 259 and is a favorite with many because of its
cleanliness, beauty, fish, and water sports opportunities.
Also
located in the area is Beavers
Bend State Park. Beavers Bend offers abundant trails and
wildlife, as well as, riverside cliffs, mountains, fishing
opportunities, entertainment during special festivals and
a peaceful outdoor setting.
Beavers
Bend is separated from Broken Bow Lake by the Broken Bow Dam.
This dam allows the regulated flow of the Mountain
Fork River, which runs through Beaver's Bend. Although
Beavers Bend provides canoe rental, a swimming area, paddle
boats and other attractions on the Mt. Fork River, the majority
of the river traffic and canoe rental occurs between Beavers
Bend and Highway 70. Downstream, there is more white water
and trophy rainbow and brown trout fishing
opportunities.Farther
north, the majestic Ouachita Mountains provide for horseback
riding, backpacking and day hiking, photography, hunting and
the Scenic
Talimena Drive which is a favorite during the fall foliage
season. Seen Above, the Talimena Drive provides breathtaking
views and is a window to southeast Oklahoma.
