Broken Bow In Oklahoma Is One Of The Best Towns In America

Looking for summer vacation ideas in Oklahoma? Sure, you can visit Tulsa and Oklahoma City and enjoy big city fun but if you want the best lake in Oklahoma, along with a plethora of outdoor activities and epic scenery, Broken Bow is the place to be. This small town of about 5,000 residents is a nature lover’s dream, especially in the summer because it rarely gets over 100 degrees in this part of the state.

Nestled in southern Oklahoma sits the charming town of Broken Bow - surrounded by exquisite beauty, scenic views, and lush landscape. It has become a prime destination spot in the Sooner State because it’s full of outdoor recreation. It's beautiful all year long but we think the best time to visit is during summer because it's a water paradise.

It's the gateway city to Beavers Bend State Park and is home to Broken Bow Lake and Mountain Fork River. If you're up for some hiking there are many gorgeous trails in the area.

Broken Bow is home to many cabin rentals that are located in the middle of the Ouachita Mountains, so the scenery is epic and peaceful for a summer retreat.

If you prefer to get up close and personal with nature, you can pitch a tent in a variety of campgrounds, some of which offer waterfront views.

The lake offers many water activities, including boat tours, rentals, fishing, and more.

You can also rent canoes, kayaks, or inner tubes and enjoy time out on the lake or take a ride down one of the rivers in the area. The Lower Mountain Fork River offers some of the best trout fishing in the state.

Another fun summer activity is a guided trail ride by Riverman Trail Rides - offering authentic Western horseback rides.

While in town, eat some of the best pizza in the state at Grateful Head Pizza Oven & Taproom – a secluded restaurant near Broken Bow that you truly have to try at least once. The incredible surroundings of nature and the mouthwatering pizza are a match made in heaven.
