Kid's Activities at Carper Springs Takitik Cabin and Vacation Rental Broken Bow Oklahoma

A special note from the Carper Family:

Growing up in this area, we couldn’t wait for summer. Our mother was a school teacher. So, when school let out, we were off to Broken Bow Lake. Those were the best days of our lives. In Beaver’s Bend State park, we couldn’t wait to go through the nature center but were in a bigger hurry to play in Beaver Creek that separates the nature center and the play area in the park.. The paddleboats were always a treat. But the biggest fun was swimming in Broken Bow Lake. Summers just didn’t last very long. Today, 25 years later, all the great kid stuff is still here with so many new things that you should have no problems keeping your little outdoor adventurists occupied. There are great hiking trails, ATV trails everywhere, go carts and miniature golf. Here are some suggestions that might help keep your kids busy. Please feel free to call us anytime for more information. All of these places are within 5-10 minutes of Carper Springs cabins.

Enjoy, Suzie, William and Kevin Carper
