For starters there are so many thing to do just in the State Park you could spend all of your time there. There are plenty of places to explore along the shores of Broken Bow Lake, along with kayaking, canoeing or fishing on the lake. With 180 miles of shoreline you can find just the right space for all of your water sports and outdoor adventures. You can enjoy a river float trip or even learn something new at the Nature Center.

One of our favorite things is photography and family photos. You do not want to miss Uncle Charlie’s Old Time Photo Studio. Dress up in some of the best costumes you’ve ever seen and capture a fun and unique experience.

If you spend time in the sun hiking or water skiing you are going to work up an appetite. We will have 2 other posts all about restaurants you can read about soon from burgers to fine dining, so I won’t touch too much on restaurants or places to eat but I do want to mention the Whip Poor Will Cabins and Original Fudge Factory. I’m really not sure there are words to properly express the joy we experience when we get some good chocolate treats. They have fudge like we have never seen before, Jalapeno peanut brittle? You will have a lot of fun checking out all of the goodies in this shop. It is a great way to escape the summer heat and get a little treat.
