Located along the shores of Broken Bow Lake and the Mountain Fork River, the scenic beauty of Beavers Bend Resort Park makes it one of Oklahoma's most popular resort areas. It includes both Beavers Bend State Park & Hochatown State Park. There is a great Nature Center and you will be busy as a beaver doing things like water sports, hiking, biking, golf and looking for several letterboxes. Towering timbers, crystal clear waters and mountainous terrain form what is affectionately referred to as Oklahoma's "Little Smokies", so come enjoy it while looking for this box.

Directions:

From Broken Bow, go 7 miles north on Hwy 259, then 4 miles east on Hwy 259A to Beavers Bend Resort Park. Stop at the Forest Heritage Center to get a trail map and continue to the trailhead for Beaver Lodge Trail, which is left from the swim beach area and past the turn for the stables.

Clues:

Walk to the first bridge and cross it. Continue about 100 yards to a small path on the left going slightly uphill into the woods. Walk on it for about 50 steps and look right for a clump of 3 trees on a mound about 5 steps off trail. The camo microbox is behind the first (larger) tree under some rocks. Please rehide well.

NOTE: Always take adequate precautions (such as prodding with a stick and/or wearing gloves) before reaching into dark crevasses and holes in the wild. Before you set out read the waiver of responsibility and disclaimer.
