I just had to share how amazing the fall season is in Broken Bow, Oklahoma.. The colors are absolutely breathtaking—reds, oranges, and yellows everywhere you look! If you’ve never been, Beavers Bend State Park is a must-see. The way the leaves change around the Ouachita Mountains is like nature’s own painting. 🌳🍁
And if you’re into photography, Broken Bow Lake is perfect for capturing those gorgeous reflections of the colorful trees. Plus, the cozy cabins and peaceful forest paths make for some seriously charming shots. ✨
Here are my must-do's during Fall season when visiting the area:
Beavers Bend Folk Festival & Craft Show 🍁🍂
2nd weekend in November
FREE Admission!
Folk Music 🪕
Fall Foliage Exhibits
Petting Zoo 🐮🐴🐰
This showcase of arts and crafts will feature 70 exhibitors and vendors celebrating rarefied skills like candle making, woodturning, lye soap making, knife making and quilting. 😀
Herbalists will be on hand to share their knowledge of natural remedies and instrument makers will exhibit their best work.
Meanwhile, an outdoor stage against the colorful backdrop of a Southeast Oklahoma forest will lure visitors with the soothing sounds of Celtic and early American folk music.
This year marks the 25th festival, and its sure to be one of the biggest yet!
2. Driving the scenic highway of 259
As you drive north on highway 259, following Route 259A through Beavers Bend State Park and Hochatown State Park back to 259, and again north to Big Cedar, you’ll see amazing colors. Broken Bow is home to a variety of deciduous trees that readily change colors in the fall, including three types of oak trees, baldcypress, black walnut Chinese pistache, dogwood, elm, hackberry, Kentucky coffeetree, redbud, soapberry and more.
3. Hiking Trails
The Ouachita Forest is home to one of the best hiking trails in Oklahoma. A popular one is Friendship Trail, which run next to the Lower Mt Fork River with gorgeous views and a perfect spot to admire nature. For an easier hike, try the Forest Heritage Center. This will take you along Beaver Creek, over a covered bridge and loops back to the Forest Heritage Center. This is relaxing walk with some varying elevation but easy for families and dogs
