Pines and trout water
Beavers Bend State Park follows the Lower Mountain Fork below the dam, where short forest trails, rocky banks, and year-round trout water share the same morning.
Second Star Guide
Cabin decks, pine trails, and clear lake coves.
Beavers Bend follows the trout-filled Lower Mountain Fork beneath Broken Bow Lake; just north, Hochatown adds cabin roads, patios, and the marina turnoffs along US-259.
Cabins, coves, trails, and Hochatown
The Lower Mountain Fork leaves the forest beneath Broken Bow Lake.
Beavers Bend brings shaded trails and rocky riverbanks. The lake opens into clear coves above it, while Hochatown's cabins, restaurants, and patios line the US-259 corridor outside the park.

Read more →Four parts of Broken Bow
Pine forest, trout river, lake coves, and a cabin under the trees.
The destination changes quickly from cool river shade to open lake water and busy Hochatown patios. Each part earns its own stretch of the weekend.
Broken Bow Lake coves
Forested points divide the lake into long blue coves for pontoons, paddling, swimming, and quiet shoreline stops away from the busier roads.
Hochatown after the park
US-259 through Hochatown gathers patios, burgers, steak dinners, breweries, sweets, mini golf, and the shops that fill a rainy afternoon.
Cabin porch after dinner
A deck under tall pines, a fire pit, a hot tub, and a quiet kitchen are part of Broken Bow's appeal, not merely a place to sleep between outings.
Saturday on the water
Choose the pontoon, paddleboard, or guided trout morning early.
Lake rentals and fishing guides can fill on peak weekends. Compare the open-water lake day with a shaded Lower Mountain Fork outing, then use Hochatown for dinner after the wet gear is put away.
