About Presbyterian Falls
Presbyterian Falls is a 3-foot waterfall in Oklahoma, on Mountain Fork. The water falls in 3 distinct tiers.
It's fullest after rain, and flow can drop off during dry spells — plan around recent weather.
Plungeworthy rates Presbyterian Falls 4.9/10 — if you're passing. The score weighs its scale, how confidently it's mapped, and its character.
What you'll find
Not a plunge — a series of low shelf-rock ledges, roughly 2.5 to 3 feet of total drop, on the Lower Mountain Fork River near Beavers Bend State Park. The name is bigger than the falls.
There's no trail and no parking built for it. People meet it the way the river intends: tubing, kayaking, or wading the trout water through the Beavers Bend corridor.
The river here is dam-fed from Broken Bow Lake — cold, clear, ODWC-managed trout water, with flows set by release schedules as much as by weather.
Getting there
- Road
- Lower Mountain Fork River corridor near Beavers Bend State Park, off US-259A
- Heads up
- No maintained trail to the falls — reached by tubing, kayaking, or wading from river-access points in and near the state park.
When to go
Check Broken Bow dam release schedules before wading or tubing — the river's level is a switch someone else flips.
Summer is peak tubing and paddling season on the Lower Mountain Fork.
Winter releases run cold and empty of crowds.
