Hochatown State Park

Hochatown State Park was a lake-focused park in southeastern Oklahoma near Broken Bow, long popular with visitors from Oklahoma and Texas for camping, boating, and other waterfront recreation at Broken Bow Lake. Named for the nearby community of Hochatown, it was shaped by the area’s larger history: the original town was displaced in the late 1960s when the Mountain Fork River was dammed to create the lake, and its remains now lie underwater as a scuba-diving site. Originally part of Beavers Bend State Park, Hochatown became a separate park in 1966 before being merged back into Beavers Bend in 2017, though its name still identifies the lake-oriented section.
