Hiking
Beavers Bend Marina
The full-service hub for watercraft rentals on Broken Bow Lake, Beavers Bend Marina operates 365 days a year from its location at 196 Marina Lane.
The fleet includes pontoon boats ranging from 7 to 14 passengers, including a doubledecker model with a slide and sunbathing area, Sea-Doo jet skis for two riders, tube rentals, and houseboats for extended stays. Boats go out with a full tank of fuel, and you’re charged only for what you use. Staff provide lake maps and are on hand to answer navigation questions before you head out.
The on-site store carries groceries, snacks, beverages, and swimsuits, making it easy to stock up before getting on the water. Summer hours run 8 AM to 8 PM, with shorter winter hours. Reservations are available directly through their website.
