Beavers Bend Resort Park, State park in southeastern Oklahoma, US

Beavers Bend Resort Park is a large nature area in southeastern Oklahoma situated along a lake and river, surrounded by dense pine forests. The grounds feature rocky hillsides and different zones for various outdoor activities.

Construction began in 1935 and the park opened in 1937, named after John T. Beavers, a Choctaw settler who originally owned part of the land; other portions were bought from the Choctaw Lumber Company. The Civilian Conservation Corps did much of the building, and over 2,000 visitors came in the first year though the park was not fully developed. It absorbed the former Hochatown State Park in 2017.

The Forest Heritage Center holds 14 dioramas painted by Harry Rossoll, the artist who created Smokey Bear, covering prehistoric forests, Caddo Indians, Southern papermaking, 1940s lumbering and forest appreciation, each with taped narration. An 8-foot bronze sculpture unveiled in June 2003 honors Jim Burnett, the first Oklahoma forest firefighter killed in the line of duty, on August 11, 2000, fighting the Kate's Basin Fire near Thermopolis, Wyoming.

The park offers different lodging options from cabins to RV and tent sites, all bookable online in advance. It helps to research what facilities are available and plan how to get there before your visit.

A section of the park is specially set aside for fly fishing trout, with particular areas where only catch-and-release is permitted. These zones help keep fish populations healthy.
