As one of the most beautiful places in Oklahoma, Broken Bow lies nestled in southeast Oklahoma near the foothills of the Kiamichi Mountains – a subrange of the breathtaking Ouachita Mountains. The town lies within McCurtain County and with a population just over 4,000, Broken Bow is a gateway city to Beaver’s Bend Resort Park and Hochatown State Park. With a quaint town full of history, great weather, pristine water, spectacular views and an array of outdoor activities, this little town is one of Oklahoma’s best kept secrets.
