Nestled against the Kiamichi/Ouachita mountains beside Beavers Bend State Park, Broken Bow Lake has a rocky bottom and some of the clearest water in Oklahoma, with visibility of 10-40 ft. The deep reservoir (average around 200 ft in the old river channel) offers cliff walls divable to about 140 ft, plus valleys and rocky crevices, mostly reached by boat. Thick silt pockets can blow out visibility if disturbed, and heavy boat traffic makes flags mandatory.
