EAT
Grateful Head Pizza Oven & Tap Room
(Our personal favorite! It is a must. Be prepared for a long wait though. I especially like the Tree Hugger pizza, and my husband loves the Dire Wolf. The breadsticks are great too!)
{Pizza, Pub, Live Music}
10271 N Hwy 259
Hochatown, OK 74728
(580) 494-6030
​
(Great place for steak, grilled fresh veggies etc. It is the best place for anniversaries etc. (although it’s still a lake town so don’t feel like you have to dress super nice, some people will be in lake clothes and some in date attire) They take reservations!)

Phat Tabb’s BBQ
(The owner/chef was a Chopped Grand Champion on Food Network. His BBQ and street corn is fantastic. It’s a bit of a drive from Hochatown though, and they have unique hours, so check them before you go) {BBQ}
1110 S Central Ave
Idabel, OK 74745
(580) 376-1088
Jakes Brickhouse Grill
(This one is in Idabel but is worth the drive if you feel like venturing out! We really liked their queso and chips, bbq nachos, steak, mahi mahi, catfish, and burgers. You really can’t go wrong.)

Shady Oak Restaurant
(We like their omelets and hash browns. Their pancakes are good if you like krustez brand.)
{American, Breakfast, Burgers}
Highway 259 N
Broken Bow, OK 74728
(580) 494-636
(Fast casual fried seafood place. We like their Beignets; they have a great outdoor patio with a pretty view of a pond. Their soups are decent too. All of their fried food is average, not anything to rave about, but it hits the spot if that is what you are craving. They also happen to be open in the down season more than other restaurants.) {Catfish & Po-Boys}
83 N Lukfata Trail Rd.
Hochatown, OK 74728
(580)-494-3474

{BBQ}
242 Stevens Gap Rd
Broken Bow, OK 74728
(580) 579-5811
​

Hochatown, Oklahoma 74728
(580) 494-3287

{Corn Dogs & Nachos}
8873 N US Hwy 259
Broken Bow, OK 74728
(580) 494-3647
​
(Good Street style Mexican food stand. Make sure you try their homemade limeade, it’s fantastic! It only has outdoor seating that is next to the busy highway fyi. I might not recommend it if you have little kids that might run and are a mom with anxiety, like me, 😊)
{Burritos & Tacos}
1 Carson Creek Road
Broken Bow, OK 74728
(580) 579-8943
Okie Girls Coffee and Ice Cream
(Our favorite for ice cream, smoothies, or coffee, even their cookies and muffins are awesome!)
121 North Lukfata Trail
Broken Bow, OK 74728
(580) 494-6545
Swadley's Foggy Bottom Kitchen
(Beautiful location in the state park. It is next to the river. Some of the inside and outdoor seating has a nice view of the river. Be prepared for a long wait in the busy season. However, when on a wait it is a nice area for kids to run around next to the river and for parents to relax. We recommend staying for sunset. They also have a small grocery store if you need buns, milk, eggs, etc. We like their chicken strips, and sandwiches, the Monte Cristo sandwich is great, and huge so it’s a good one to share. Their fried zucchini chips are the best I’ve ever had. So good! We’ve heard their breakfast is great, but haven’t tried it yet, please let me know if you do!)
120 Old Park Road
Broken Bow, OK 74728
(580) 494-3009
Beavers Bend Restaurant
(We like their burgers second to Buffalo Grill, and their breakfast is not too shabby as well.)
8805 N. US Highway 259
Broken Bow, OK 74728
(580) 494-7366
Donut Crossing
(A little bit of a drive back to the main town of Broken Bow (15 mins each way), but if you are craving donuts, they are yummy!)
904 S. Park Dr.
Broken Bow, OK 74728
(580) 584-5805
WINERIES & BREWERIES
​
Fish Tales Winery, Vineyard, and Bistro
(My favorite! They have great house made muscadine wine, knowledgeable staff, and a great selection, AMAZING Bistro. We love their baguette and chip dips, and their paninis! For sure get the peach, pear, ham, pepper jack, and banana pepper one. It sounds weird but is SO good! Get the cucumber salad side dish that goes along with it!)
17 Oak Leaf Ln
Broken Bow, OK 74728
(580) 494-6115
(Kind of a silly name but has a good heart. They donate some revenue to charity. This is more of a funny/bachelorette atmosphere vs classy winery)
10000 Hwy 259

Tree Frog Kayak & Canoe Rentals
38 Tree Frog Trail
Broken Bow, OK 74728
(580) 380-9180
(Tree Frog is awesome and friendly. You park your car at their location and the friendly owners shuttle you to the water (maybe 10 mins tops drive). Bring ziplock bags and bungee cords to fasten your items to your kayak. I recommend stopping at the big, lone rock in the middle of the river to rest/ eat food/ swim. They have a pick up location by the bridge/underpass and they shuttle you back. They also have a bathroom where you can change. We kayaked 8am-noon. The earlier the better on the river!)
(they are great)

Broken Bow, OK 74728
(580) 306-2279
​
Beavers Bend State Park Swimming “Beach” Area
{With kayak, peddle boat, and paddle board rentals (non-guided)}
(It’s a sandyish beach area with calm water, $15 peddle boat or kayak river rentals, and snow cone stand. It’s my children’s favorite. The portion of the river that you kayak is very calm with gorgeous trees growing in the middle of the water, and beautiful cliffs. This is perfect for families with young children who are nervous to take them on an actual big, guided kayaking trip, or for couples/families who want to go at their own pace without a guide.)

ENTERTAINMENT
​
Hiking in Beavers Bend State Park
Alltrails.com or download the All Trails App
{Maps with trail directions, reviews, and descriptions}
One of our favorite family friendly trails is called Friends Trail it is an easy/moderate loop that runs past a gorgeous part of the river. There is a fork at the beginning of the trail. Head right if you want a more moderate elevation change and to do the full loop. Head left if you want it to stay fairly flat, this way still leads to the river. You can hike out the same way if you don’t want to complete the loop.
Tree Trail is a fantastic easy 1.2 mile trail that perfect for kids. We love it! It leads you past a Native American sculpture, along a beautiful creek that my kids love to splash in, over a bridge, and back to the Forest Heritage Center. Skyline Trail is a hard trail that is a 9.5 mile hike that leads to the lake, it has water crossings and steep sections. Lookout Mountain Loop is a 2.9 mile moderate trail with pretty views.

Beavers Bend Depot and Trail Rides
(Their horse trail rides are fun; it is more of a ride through flat pines vs Riverman’s terrain. I’d suggest this one if you are brand new to horse riding and are scared/nervous. Both are fun but I would choose based on preference of ride terrain and experience around horses.)
