National Public Radio reported that the park generated $1,787,731 in 2011, excluding $414,255 in revenue from Lakeview Lodge. Thus, gross earnings were around $2.3 million. The report did not list the number of visitors, but stated that this had the second highest attendance of any Oklahoma state park during the year.
This is 1 of 7 state parks in Oklahoma that will be in the path of totality for the April 8th, 2024 total solar eclipse, with 4 minutes and 15.2 seconds of totality.
Construction on the park began in 1935, and it was named after John T. Beavers, a Choctaw settler who originally owned some of the land. Other portions of the park were purchased from the Choctaw Lumber Company. The Civilian Conservation Corps contributed significantly to the park's construction, and it received over 2,000 visitors in its first year of operation despite not being fully developed.
This park absorbed the former Hochatown State Park in 2017.
