Floodgates Opened At Broken Bow Lake

BROKEN BOW LAKE/BEAVERS BEND STATE PARK FLOODING

Massive rainfall in the Beavers Bend State Park and Broken Bow Lake area will result in the floodgates being opened to an all-time high of three-feet at 10:00 a.m. today, according to a KSLA television report.

Beavers Bend State Park cabins owned by the state of Oklahoma will be evacuated this morning prior to the floodgates being raised to the three-foot level. Highway 259A has been closed due to rising water.

Many luxury cabins are not currently affected in conditions like this if they are built on high ground. The rustic, state-owned cabins are impacted.

An official at Beavers Bend State Park told me no rescues have taken place thus far.

Beavers Bend State Park tourists traveling from Dallas will need to check road conditions near the Oklahoma-Texas border. There are reports of some roads being impassable due to high water.

13 cabin visitors were rescued by authorities on the Mountain Fork River Monday. This is about 15 miles east of Mountain Vista cabin.

The weather forecast indicates a good chance of rain over the next several days near Broken Bow Lake.

These pictures are once again courtesy of Bryce Archey, owner of BrokenBowLakeGuide.com. Bryce is the only fishing guide we endorse on Broken Bow Lake. The left pic in the parking lot at Beavers Bend Marina shows flooding is nearly covering the top of restrooms located close to the boat ramps.

The right picture is at the Broken Bow Lake dam bridge. Water continues to rise with each passing day. Several more inches of rainfall is expected over Memorial Day weekend. Broken Bow Lake and campgrounds in the Beavers Bend State Park area remain closed.
