This is How You Summer

Summer is here. And Beavers Bend is here for it.  

Lake days. Holing up in a cabin instead of your home. Patio drinks. Flying through forest on a zipline. Campfire smell. Game night that gets a little out of hand. Casting lines and catching trout. Big views. Big times. 
Here are a handful of our favorite ways to make the most of Beavers Bend summer days. 

Lake Time

Broken Bow Lake. Beavers Bend Marina. These are some names you’ll need to know. The biggest summer draw to Beavers Bend is some quality Broken Bow lake time, so booking water toys and rentals ahead is smart. Unless you’re more of a just wade in kind of person.  And if you’re somewhere in-between wading and water toys, Broken Bow Tiki Boat Tours might be for you.

Stevens Gap Area is one of the main areas of Beavers Bend State Park, and a great spot for some Broken Bow Lake swimming. If you’re looking for some beach time, this is where you want to go. Plus, there are nearby picnic tables, hiking trails and campsites. And space to just lounge. 
If you’re wanting a little more adrenaline, make your way to the Beavers Bend Marina area of Broken Bow Lake. All things boating, jet skiing, water skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, sailing and fishing happen here. We know. So many options. And when you need a break, boatside swims do the trick.

River Things

When you find yourself in need of some kayaking or canoeing, maybe some paddleboarding – or even a sno-cone, head to Beavers Bend Land & Water Park, located inside Beavers Bend Resort Park. Here you’ll take advantage of the stunning Lower Mountain Fork River, be able to rent water toys and just generally have a solid time on the river. If you’re looking for a place to bring kids – this spot is a hit with families, too. 

For the more experienced, adventure-seek floaters, check out Presbyterian Falls on the Lower Mountain Fork River.

And of course – fishing. Amateurs and experts alike make their way to the river for trout fly fishing. If you’re just starting out, or want to hit the best spots, there are several knowledgeable (and entertaining) guides available.

Patio Hangs

Mountain Fork Brewery. Abendigo’s Grill & Patio. Beavers Bend Brewery. Buffalo Grill. Grateful Head Pizza Oven & Taproom. Shuck Me. Hochatown Saloon. The Blue Rooster. Girls Gone Wine. The list is long, and on-going. 
Whether you’re in the mood for some Vitamin D with local beer, a hefty pour of cabernet, or live music (or all three – we aren’t judging). Beavers Bend is home to lots of places to get your patio hours in. And many host local and traveling musicians on weekends, with some even offering karaoke and trivia nights.

Cabin Life

And of course, you need a solid basecamp. 

Beavers Bend is known for its luxury cabins and all the amenities that go along with them. Like porchside hot tubs. Pool tables and cornhole. Chef’s kitchens and massive soaking tubs. Flat screens and California kings.
But cabins book up quickly – and in advance – during the summer months. So if you’re getting that urge to get here already, start scoping out your cabin options now.
