Ouachita WMA – McCurtain Unit covers 131,000 acres in central and southern McCurtain County in the southeast corner of the state. The Broken Bow Subunit is located north of Broken Bow, surrounding Broken Bow Lake and the Glover River. The Tiak Subunit is located southeast of Idabel surrounding the towns of Haworth and Tom.
Loblolly pine plantations and upland hardwood forests dominate the 111,000 acres found within the Broken Bow Unit. This area contains the Ouachita Mountains foothills and also surrounds the Lower Mountain Fork River. This portion of the WMA was acquired in 1997 from Weyerhaeuser as part of a Forest Service/Weyco land exchange. Within the 20,000 acre Tiak Unit, mixed loblolly pine/hardwood forests and mature, bottomland hardwood forests dominate the landscape.
