- Description:
- Robert Finch, the reservoir manager at Broken Bow Dam and Reservoir in Oklahoma, is working on various projects to improve the recreational area before the 1973 season. These projects include painting signs, improving facilities, and installing new amenities such as chemical toilets and boundary markers. The dam, located in the Ouachita Mountains, has an impervious clay core and is 225 feet high. Despite a slight decrease in visitors in 1972, Broken Bow Lake remains a popular destination with attractions such as nature trails and park areas.
