Hit the Trails Together
Some of the best things to do in the area happen out in nature, and your leashed dog is welcome to tag along. Beavers Bend State Park offers miles of scenic trails suited for every activity level. Adventurous hikers with an energetic dog can tackle the Skyline Trail, a rigorous route with water crossings and waterfall views. For a more relaxed stroll, wander the nature paths along the Mountain Fork River. Just remember to pack a leash, waste bags, and plenty of fresh water for your furry hiking buddy.
Splash Around on the Water
Many dogs love the water as much as their owners do. Broken Bow Lake and the Mountain Fork River are both great spots to let your pup take a refreshing dip. Rent a canoe or kayak and bring your dog along for a peaceful paddle, or find a calm stretch of shoreline where they can wade in and cool off. Early mornings tend to be quieter, making them ideal for a low-key outing with your pet.
Grab a Bite on a Dog-Friendly Patio
When hunger strikes, you won’t have to leave your pup behind. The area is full of restaurants with welcoming outdoor seating. Enjoy craft beer and gourmet fare on the spacious patio at Beavers Bend Brewery, or dig into scratch-made Southern classics on the back patio at Abendigo’s Grill & Patio. If you’re craving something sweet, stop by Okie Girls Coffee & Ice Cream, where your pup can even snag a pup cup. Wine lovers can unwind at Girls Gone Wine, which welcomes dogs on its enclosed patio.
More Pet-Approved Fun
The adventures don’t stop there. Pan for gems and fossils alongside your dog at Beaver’s Bend Mining Company, a laid-back activity the whole family can enjoy. You can also spend an afternoon exploring downtown Broken Bow, snapping photos of local storefronts and murals with your pup at your side.
