McCurtain county, Broken Bow spillway to Mountain Fork River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     1.25 miles
  The wonderful Oklahoma scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream attract people from near and far. The Broken Bow spillway to Mountain Fork River stretch of Outlaw Creek is 1.25 miles long and has been rated as a class II-III section by American Whitewater. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will have you coming back for more. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular
    destination. This is an extremely short stretch so better bring some good walking shoes. When you're paddling down a Ouachita Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery along the way too. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Oklahoma are easier than the national
norm, so keep in mind that rivers here are less demanding. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are lots of good rivers for that around here. There are no other sections to paddle along Outlaw Creek than the Broken Bow spillway to Mountain Fork River section.

Briefly about the general area:
You must certainly explore Beavers Bend while you're here at Outlaw Creek, and if the weather is pleasant, you can go for a hike along the Beaver Lodge Nature Trail. You'll beyond doubt wish for more hours in a day
 
to enjoy all the fun stuff in the Ouachita Mountains. The Rockpile Mountain is a major trait of the neighborhood around Outlaw Creek.
