There’s no better way to spend your days on a Hochatown vacation than by spending time outdoors. Found in McCurtain County, this Oklahoma town is filled with endless things to do in the Great Outdoors. For an adventure that lets you take in the region’s beauty from the water, go canoeing. To help you plan your day of paddling, the local team at Beavers Bend Creative Escapes has put together this Broken Bow canoeing guide, including where to go and where to find rental gear.
Where to Find Canoe Rentals Near Hochatown
Canoes are not always the easiest piece of equipment to bring with you on vacation. Luckily, there are plenty of places near your Hochatown cabin rental that have all the rental gear you need.
Tippa Canoe is one of the most popular spots in the area. The four-mile float starts at Mountain Fork Park and can last anywhere between two and three hours. Because your trip is completely unguided, you can travel down the river at your own pace.
Another great option is Beavers Bend River Floats. Anoes are available for rent on a first-come, first-served basis. Your self-guided trip is a 2.5-mile scenic float down the Mountain Fork River.
A third option is Tree Frog Kayak and Canoe Rental. Because their canoes can comfortably fit two adults and one child, this is a great option for families looking to spend time out on the water.
Where to Go Paddling?
There are a few different options for where to go canoeing. The best is the Mountain Fork River, known for its crystal-clear, cold water. This waterway offers both calm stretches ideal for beginners and light rapids that are fun but still manageable. Many rental companies operate here, which means you don’t have to try to transport your rental elsewhere.
Another good option is Broken Bow Lake. This is a great place to experience large, open-water paddling. Explore coves, or plan a sunrise or sunset paddle.
Tips for Your Adventure
There are a few things to keep in mind as you plan your canoeing excursion.
- Water is cold year-round, so be sure to dress appropriately.
- If you are visiting during peak season, reserve your rental as soon as possible.
- For smaller crowds and calmer waters, plan a morning paddle.
