Everything You Need to Know Before Visiting Hochatown

Visiting Hochatown? Nestled in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains and just north of Broken Bow, Oklahoma, Hochatown is the perfect place to unplug, unwind, and reconnect with nature—or just soak in a hot tub with a glass of wine. Whether it’s your first time visiting or you’re a returning guest, here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your getaway.

📍 Where Is Hochatown?

Hochatown is a charming and fast-growing vacation spot just a few miles from Broken

Bow, surrounded by tall pines, scenic trails, and crystal-clear lakes. Beavers Bend State Park and Broken Bow Lake are right next door, offering year-round outdoor adventure.

Pro Tip: Cell service can be spotty once you’re in the woods, so download your maps ahead of time and screenshot your check-in info before you arrive!

Pack light—but smart. Here’s a quick list to help:

• Comfy hiking shoes or sneakers

• Bug spray and sunscreen

• Firewood and s’mores supplies (or grab them in town)

• Layers for chilly nights

• Swimsuits for the lake or your cabin’s hot tub

• Groceries if you plan to cook (local stores are limited)
