Broken Bow Lake
One of Oklahoma’s most beautiful lakes, Broken Bow, is home to trophy largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, catfish and a variety of pan-fish. The scenic mountains and forest provide a sensational backdrop for one of the state’s favorite fisheries. Access to the lake is through Hochatown State Park.

Glover River
The Glover River is Oklahoma’s last wild river and it certainly lives up to that reputation. The Glover flows through some of the state’s most beautiful scenery and is home to a fabulous smallmouth bass fishery. Most of the year the Glover is a leisurely float trip, but at certain times, during high water periods, it can become a challenge with its numerous narrows and rapids.

While most of the Glover River flows through public land managed by the Ouachita National Forest, a section of the river runs through the Three Rivers Wildlife Management Area. To access the river from Three Rivers, visitors must pay a Land Access Fee of $16 for residents and $25 for non residents annually. The portion of the Glover River in the Ouachita National Forest is not subject to the Land Access Fee.

Upper Mountain Fork River  
(Above Broken Bow Lake)
Meandering through the beautiful mountains and forests above Broken Bow Lake, the Upper Mountain Fork River is a perfect setting for tackling one of Oklahoma’s hardest fighting native fish, the smallmouth bass. Access points are located at various locations approximately 38 miles north of Broken Bow off US Hwy 259 and State Hwy 4.

Lower Mountain Fork River
(Below Broken Bow Lake)
The Lower Mountain Fork, which flows through Beavers Bend Resort Park, has become Oklahoma’s premier trout destination. Stocked regularly, the river offers thrills for fly fishermen and spin-casters alike. A trophy trout area has produced the Oklahoma record brown trout.
