Sherri and I along with Kula, the Grand Champion Brussels Griffon, enjoyed spending time at the Spillway last week. The heavy rainfall from February has resulted in all boat ramps on Broken Bow Lake being closed. It’s business as usual elsewhere in Beavers Bend State Park.

A brief Cedar Creek Golf Course update after the recent flooding in Beavers Bend…

Course superintendent Kurt Adams tells me “15 holes are open and it will be a week or two on the other three.”

That’s great news, Cedar Creek is truly a wonderful tract and gets rave reviews from our guests at Mountain Vista cabin.

Floodgates Opened At Broken Bow Lake

BROKEN BOW LAKE/BEAVERS BEND STATE PARK FLOODING

Massive rainfall in the Beavers Bend State Park and Broken Bow Lake area will result in the floodgates being opened to an all-time high of three-feet at 10:00 a.m. today, according to a KSLA television report.

Beavers Bend State Park cabins owned by the state of Oklahoma will be evacuated this morning prior to the floodgates being raised to the three-foot level. Highway 259A has been closed due to rising water.

Many luxury cabins are not currently affected in conditions like this if they are built on high ground. The rustic, state-owned cabins are impacted.

An official at Beavers Bend State Park told me no rescues have taken place thus far.

Summer Beavers Bend Flooding Update

Summer Beavers Bend Flooding Update…

Warm weather is finally here and we’ve just added a fresh coat of stain to all three levels of the Mountain Vista deck.

Broken Bow luxury cabins continue to be very busy despite the recent flooding. Officials are anticipating that Beavers Bend State Park and Broken Bow Lake will reopen within the next few weeks.

Kurt Adams, Superintendent at Cedar Creek Golf Course in Beavers Bend tells me 11 holes will reopen tomorrow. The remaining seven holes will be available when the water subsides.

The heavy rainfall has produced thousands of baby pine trees on our acreage at Mountain Vista…they’re scattered everywhere!

June and July bookings are packed at Mountain Vista. Other than June 10-11, we only have the 29th and 30th available this month. The only multi-day reservation open next month is July 6-8.

Scores of people are frantically working to get Broken Bow Lake and Beavers Bend State Park back in shape. The annual Kiamichi Owa-Chito-Festival of the Forest has been moved to the Broken Bow City Park due to the recent flooding.

Remember to do your homework before choosing a luxury cabin in Beavers Bend. Watch for hidden charges for cleaning, insurance, resort fees and firewood. We never gouge guests with these extra bills at Mountain Vista. Many times these fees can add over 20% to your cabin reservation fee.
