It has the feel of the Great Smokey Mountains and is close to Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana. By next year, the booming spot in the road just north of Broken Bow, called Hochatown, a longtime mountain retreat for those in the know, will be an ever growing resort town now that the Choctaw Nation has broken ground on their next big casino and resort hotel.
This Beavers Bend lodge is currently closed for renovations
Located next to Beavers Bend State Park, the area already has high end vacation rental homes galore.
The town is preparing for the boom. Temporary traffic lights are now being used. A bowling alley has opened, a large saloon is already being expanded. The Maze, zip lines, put put golf, 18 hole public golf course, a couple of micro breweries, a distillery, wineries, coffee shops and restaurants are scattered throughout Hochatown.
Boats and wet bikes can be rented for enjoying the lake. A river for fly fishing, float trips. and horseback riding can be found in the state park. They have more to offer but I am already sounding like the chamber of commerce and tourist bureau!
Beavers Bens State Park has cabins for rent and several campgrounds. However, the only one that I can recommend is the Buckeye Campground. New with level concrete pads and full hook ups. Large enough for big rigs and fifth wheels. There are several other private RV campgrounds in the area but to be honest none looked very good
We had an enjoyable stop and we will definitely return. But as soon as people find out about this destination it will be hard to get spaces!
