Relaxing boat trip on the lake or kayaking a rushing river? A crisp beer on a brewery patio or a cabin hideaway with breathtaking views? Summer in Beavers Bend can be all of the above and more. Whether you like to spend your days breaking a sweat, cooling down, or a healthy combination of both, Cabin Country has a version of it waiting for you.
Here’s how to make the most of a Beaver’s Bend summer.
If your summer vibe is being in or near a lake, there’s one name to know and plenty of ways to experience it: Broken Bow Lake. Between boating, jet skiing, water skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, sailing, and fishing, your lake day options are as endless as summer should be.
Of course, it all starts with a boat. Do you want to sit back, learn about the area, and eat bratwursts grilled by Captain Kurt? Take a guided tour around Broken Bow Lake with Hochatown Adventures. Or if getting out there on your own is more your speed, head over to Beavers Bend Marina & Boat Rental and they’ll set you up.
If you’d rather lay the towels out and just dip your toes in, there’s a place for that too. It’s one of Beaver Bend’s best kept “if you know, you know” spots: Stevens Gap Swim Beach. This scenic oasis has refreshing waters to cool off, nearby picnic tables, and shaded campgrounds, making it the perfect spot to take a dip while taking in desktop wallpaper-worthy views.
If you’re craving something more hands-on than a float or splashing around in the shallow end, get your Lewis and Clark on by kayaking, canoeing, or paddleboarding the Lower Mountain Fork River.
No matter what you’re looking for, head to Beavers Bend Land & Water Park, located inside Beavers Bend Resort Park, to rent your gear. Prefer to stay back and watch? They’ve got something for you too – enjoy a snowcone or play a game of mini-golf while you watch the adventure-seekers paddle by.
For the more experienced floaters looking for a challenge, Presbyterian Falls on the Lower Mountain Fork River is worth exploring too.
Of course, there’s plenty of fishing too. If you want to hit the best spots, here’s everything you need to know about fishing in Cabin Country. Or skip the research and book a fishing guide to take you straight to the spots that’ll empty your bait bucket.
After a day of being on the water, a Cabin Country summer isn’t complete without a patio session.
Wine tasting on a two-story winery patio deck? Try Girls Gone Wine. Want to sample what the local breweries are concocting while enjoying some shade? Mountain Fork Brewery and Beavers Bend Brewery have you covered. Restaurants with unique flavors and live music scenes? Check out Abendigo’s Grill & Patio or Shuck Me.
The list goes on. More of a pizza and beer person? Try Grateful Head Pizza Oven & Taproom. What about burgers and beverages on the patio? For that, there’s Buffalo Grill. Not to mention two other patio staples on our rotation: Hochatown Saloon and The Blue Rooster.
We’ll be the first to say it – sometimes, nothing beats your own private patio. Waking up to a cup of Joe and morning views before you head out for the day. Winding down in a hot tub post-dinner. These moments at your homebase are what make Cabin Country summers what they’re meant to be.
With over 3,000 cabins to choose from and every amenity you can dream of, there’s a cabin for any group size or occasion. Colossal spaces for family reunions, couples honeymoon hideaways, modern mansions, and rustic retreats. Hot tubs, game rooms, pools, and more.
