"Home of the World Champion Cow Chip Throw"
Visitors immediately sense that Beaver is unusual. Nestled beside towering sand dunes that stretch for miles along the Beaver River, Beaver State Park contains acres of dunes for off-road challengers, plus fishing, hiking, day-use areas, RV hook-ups and campsites. In addition, the Beaver Pioneer Golf Course is a challenging and picturesque nine-hole public course next to the park.
For hunters, the Beaver River Wildlife Management Area is abundant with deer, quail, pheasant and other game. Other hunting lodges are in the area as well.
A tour of Beaver reveals an impressive school system, library, hospital and nursing home as well as interesting and friendly shops. The area's history can be explored at the Jones and Plummer Trail Museum and the c. 1887 Presbyterian Church, the first church building in "No Man's Land".
Each April during the Cimarron Territory Celebration, Beaver County hosts the World Cow Chip Throwing Championship Contest which draws international attention. To learn more about the event visit the Cow Chip and History section of this site. The celebration's mascot, "Big Beaver" resides in the downtown area awaiting a more permanent home. "Big Beaver" has been the subject of thousands of pictures taken by people passing through and he is also a target in a geocache hunt for those that participate in that kind of adventure.
The economy is driven by the agriculture and oil and gas industry. The wind energy industry is making it's way into the area also. We welcome any requests for information you may desire in your consideration of locating a business here. We hope you'll give our area a look and believe you'll find a charming community, rich in history and great people.
