A compact concrete spillway and low-head dam on Mountain Fork River at Beaver Bend near Broken Bow. Shoot flowing water, reflections, textured concrete and surrounding forest; seasonal high flows (spring/fall) add drama. Best at golden hour or blue hour for warm/diffuse light and long exposures; overcast days soften highlights on water. Small parking area off Spillway Rd; short walk to viewpoints but respect safety barriers — low-head dams are hazardous. No fee, usually uncrowded on weekdays.
