Marine construction on Broken Bow Lake.

Broken Bow Lake is a roughly 14,000-acre lake on Mountain Fork River spanning McCurtain County, serving the Broken Bow and Hochatown area.

Know the Water

Hochatown's deep, clear mountain water.

This is flood-control water: the level can swing dramatically by season, so substructures, walkways, and lifts are engineered for the full range, not the average day. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages the shoreline under a lake-specific shoreline management plan; what can be built varies by zone, so we verify the current rules before a single pile is ordered.

Private exclusive-use docks are tightly restricted on Broken Bow, so the work here is mostly commercial and community-scale — marinas, outfitter and resort waterfronts, and shared-access structures serving the Hochatown cabin boom.

What We Build Here

Full-scope waterfront work on Broken Bow Lake.

Custom Boathouses

Entertainment-grade boathouses on Broken Bow Lake — open-gable cooling, lifts, lighting, and storm-rated substructures.

Docks & Piers

Fixed, floating, and swim piers designed for big seasonal water-level swings.

Bulkheads & Retaining Walls

Shoreline retention on Broken Bow Lake: galvanized steel, vinyl, FRP composite, and heavy timber — matched to the soil and exposure.

Precision Dredging

Boat slip, shoreline, and access-channel dredging — material pumped for backfill reuse instead of hauled off by truck.

Things To Know

Before you build on Broken Bow Lake.

Broken Bow Lake is a Corps of Engineers lake — what does that mean for my project?

Shoreline use is governed by the Corps' shoreline management plan for the lake, and what's allowed varies by zone. We confirm current rules and handle the permitting legwork before design is finalized.

Water levels swing on Broken Bow Lake. How does that change a design?

It changes everything from pile length to lift selection. We design to the lake's full operating range — walkway slopes, bumper heights, and anchoring that still work at both extremes, not just at normal pool.

Does Shore Tech build on Broken Bow Lake?

Yes, selectively. Dave regularly travels for the right project, and Broken Bow Lake is squarely inside Shore Tech's working footprint across Texas, southern Oklahoma, and western Louisiana. Call to talk through scope and scheduling.
