Know before you go
Paid Parking Compliance
Vehicle parking is managed through the Premium Parking app at all state park trailheads. Ensure you have the app downloaded before entering areas with limited signal.
Forest Coverage
Cellular reception is spotty within the deeper canyons of the Mountain Fork River. Use the Forest Heritage Center as a reliable point for emergency landline access.
Hochatown Services
The town of Hochatown serves as the primary hub for fuel and groceries. There are no fueling stations within the state park boundaries.
Autumn Foliage
Peak colors typically occur in early to mid-November. Summer visits should account for high humidity and heat indexes often exceeding 95 degrees.
Dam Release Safety
Sirens indicate water release from the Broken Bow Dam. Waders and swimmers must exit the river immediately when these signals are heard.
