Presbyterian Falls
A series of cascading rapids on the Lower Mountain Fork River within Beavers Bend State Park in southeastern Oklahoma. Rather than a single tall drop, it is a popular cascade reached by a moderate hike and accessible by kayak.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Beavers Bend State Park (Oklahoma State Parks) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
Frequently Asked Questions
No measured height is on record for Presbyterian Falls in the land-manager and survey sources this inventory draws on. We list it without a height rather than estimating one.
The Presbyterian Falls Trail reaches it about 2.4 miles (out-and-back) with roughly 350 feet of elevation gain, rated moderate. The nearest town is Broken Bow. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Beavers Bend State Park (Oklahoma State Parks) for closures and current conditions.
Spring. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
