Attractions
Gallery 259
A fine art gallery and event venue just south of Choctaw Landing on Highway 259, Gallery 259 is the most substantive visual art destination in the Hochatown area.
The gallery carries original paintings, photography, bronze and glass sculptures, handmade jewelry, crystals, and custom-commissioned art, with a strong emphasis on McCurtain County and Native American artists from the region. The interior features floor-to-ceiling displays and epoxy resin floors, and the overall energy is noticeably different from anything else along the commercial strip. A covered outdoor patio with a stage and koi pond extends the experience well beyond the gallery walls.
The venue also hosts private events including weddings, reunions, and celebrations. Open Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM, closed Sundays.
Cedar Creek Golf Course
Set within Beavers Bend State Park with pine-rimmed fairways and views of Broken Bow Lake, Cedar Creek Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-72 public course with a strong claim to being the most scenic round of golf in Oklahoma.

One of the most family-friendly attractions in the park, Beavers Bend Depot combines a scenic replica train ride with guided horseback trail rides through the Ouachita Mountain forest.
