Owner's note

Bring waders even in summer — the water is cold enough to take your breath away. The best holes are a 15-minute walk upstream from the Zone 2 parking lot.

The Lower Mountain Fork below Broken Bow Dam runs 50°F year-round, fed from the bottom of the lake. Trout (rainbow + brown), smallmouth, and bream. Catch-and-release sections marked at Re-Regulation Dam.

Planning your trip

Mountain Fork River is one stop on a Broken Bow weekend. Most guests drive in Friday afternoon, spend Saturday on the water or in Hochatown, and head home Sunday. Two nights is the minimum on most dates, three feels a lot better. Cell service is patchy once you leave the main road, so download your map before you arrive, and bring groceries — the nearest full store is in Broken Bow proper, about 15 minutes south of the cabin strip.

We host two cabins here ourselves and answer every message personally. If you are not sure which dates are open or which cabin fits your group, just ask — we would rather help you plan than watch you guess.
