Fun
things to do at Beavers Bend
The beauty of Beavers Bend Resort Park is that one is free to
explore
on one's own or to join in group activities - or to try a little of
both.
Visitors can choose eagle watches (November through February), trout
fishing, fly-fishing clinics, guided horseback rides on scenic
trails,
or hayrides throughout the park.
A year-round naturalist and a well-stocked nature
center make possible a program lineup that includes campfire
programs
on the banks of the Mountain Fork River, nature hikes, arts and crafts
classes and nature films.
In
the park's Riverbend area water lovers can find yakanoes (a combination
kayak and canoe), paddle boats, canoes, and sandy beaches with roped
off
swim areas. "The clear waters of the 14,000-acre Broken Bow Lake are
also
a favorite haunt of scuba divers. Other park diversions: golfing,
miniature
golf, tennis, jet skiing (rentals available), Broken Bow Lake Duck
Tours, Paddle Board rentals, Zip Line, boating (party barge rentals
available), and canoeing (rentals
available).
Beavers Bend Resort Park also draws the serious hiker.
Its David
Boren
Trail offers 16 miles of hiking trails with 4 miles of multi-purpose
(mountain
bike) trails that wander along ridge tops, over creek bottoms, through
tall stands of timber, and into areas so remote one can almost
experience
what early-day explorers must have felt upon seeing the Quachita
National
Forest for the first time. Good news for the not-so-serious hiker: the
same trail can also be divided into a variety of short and long hikes.
