The Broken Bow Dam is a concrete gravity dam located on the Mountain Fork River in Oklahoma, USA. Completed in 1963, it was built primarily for flood control, water supply, and hydroelectric power generation. The dam creates the Broken Bow Lake, which serves as a recreational area for fishing, boating, and camping. The dam is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. It helps to regulate river flow and mitigate the risk of flooding downstream, benefiting both the local ecosystem and nearby communities.
