Why staying near Mountain Fork River matters.

Mountain Fork is one of the few year-round trout fisheries in the Southwest. The Lower Mountain Fork section, fed by cold releases from Broken Bow Dam, holds rainbow and brown trout. Float trips, fly fishing, and kayak runs all start here. At 1.2 miles from the cabin door, Mountain Fork River is a short enough hop that you can go twice in one weekend instead of building the whole day around it.

What to do at Mountain Fork River.

Trout fishing (state license required), guided fly-fishing trips with Three Rivers Outfitters, kayak floats from Re-Re-Rentals, and the Spillway swimming hole in summer.

Getting there from the cabins.

From either cabin it is 1.2 miles on paved road, and the route is straightforward enough that you will not need directions after the first trip. Cell service drops in patches once you leave the main highway, so download your map before you head out. Parking at Mountain Fork River is easiest before 10am and after 4pm on weekends.

Other stops within a few minutes.

Broken Bow Lake (5.1 miles), Broken Bow Dam (5.6 miles), Hochatown Distilling Co. (2.6 miles). Most guests pair Mountain Fork River with one of these and call it a half-day — that is the whole appeal of staying this close to everything.

Local tip.

Water releases happen most weekdays — call the dam hotline before kayaking. Releases turn the lazy float into a real run.
