I'm happy I found them for my kayak rental. I had heard a lot of great things about them and it's true, I think this is the best of the available outfitters in Broken Bow. I will be making reservations here again the next time I return to this beautiful place! Broken Bow is a hidden gem.

Bad experience. Do not book! terrible directions, in fact there are no directions given at all…read more We called several times as their website and google does not point to where you're supposed to go. The employees are rude and not helpful, A horrible waste of time. Once we finally got into the boat, there were zero safety instructions and you just go. This is easily a dangerous ride and not fun. Highly recommend doing different activities in broken bow.

Stop here it's fun and beautiful!!! Nice for fishing and pictures!!! Funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnread more

Quick look rating: 5/5 Quality, 5/5 Service, 5/5 Experience…read more For my 100th review of 2015, I thought it would be best to write about a great little trout fly fishing spot that's not to far from Dallas, TX. **To note: This review is written about the creek before the floods in early spring of 2015. In the spring of 2015 we had major rains and flooding in the area. The engineers for the dam had to release a large amount of water from the spillway. Downstream was a major washout. Spillway Creek is below the spillway dam at Broken Bow Lake. It is just a little over 3 hours drive time from Dallas or 20 to 25 minutes from Broken Bow, Oklahoma. The water released from this dam comes from about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way down from the top of the water. This keeps the water released cold, cold enough for trout to live for the first couple of miles to about twelve miles worth of stream before it gets to hot for trout. The spillway is stocked with trout nearly every two weeks with at least two trucks of stock trout. The Spillway Creek is on the Ouachita National Forrest and Beavers Bend State Park, and I noticed that they are doing a great job of keeping this park and wildlife area, very well maintained! Help keep this park clean, what you pack/carry in, well then carry out, thank you in advance! At the time of spring there was two nice fly fishing shops in the area, while the Dallas has some really nice fly shops to help you out as well! Some of the Fly shops in Dallas have some guides that will take you up there as well! My thoughts / suggestions: 9ft rod - 4 or 5 weight rod, 9ft leader with a 5x tippet, take 5,6, and 7x tippet spools. Flies: RS2, maybe some tiny midge nymphs. Carry a wading staff! The water can be stiff in some areas! **To note: Check with the local fly shops for what kind of fly's to use and what types of tippet and leaders are being used at that time. **Emergency Note: Always listen for any sirens in the valley / creek area. When they release water from the dam, the engineers will blow that horn/whistle. If you hear it, head to high ground IMMEDIATELY! Please keep in mind where your fellow fly fishing buddies are located! For the most part there is phone reception in the area, but double check. It is pretty good idea to go to text mode when fly fishing and keep it on vibration/silent mode. Be safe, and let others know where you are located! I'll be back!

Okay this rental shop is pretty basic in terms of amenities. There's a toilet with no running…read morewater, but that's about it. There's no shop selling water or anything, so definitely bring your own cooler or water. However, I picked this place as I was trying to find a canoe/kayak rental close to the cabins. They only offer one route, and it takes about one hour if you paddle the whole way through. Or you're like me and want to enjoy the peaceful ride. They did mention to bring the canoe/kayak back within 2 hours, but I believe they don't really keep track (just use common sense). They offer single/double kayak and canoe rental. I opted for the canoe as it's a tad larger than the kayaks. The way it works is you check in and pay for the rental, and then you wait for them to take you to the start of the route. The rental is the end of the route. You'll be asked to get a life jacket (they're all kinda moldy, so just pick any). The river doesn't really get that deep, and in fact, some are below knee height, but safety first. After that, they'll call your name once your ride is there. There's no waiting area, so if you go on a summer day, just be prepared to get a little sun. I can't remember how long I waited but it's probably between 30-45 min. Once you get to the start, they'll bring your rental onto the river. That's your cue to take the paddle and get on the rental. They'll push you to the river and you're off to your adventure! Even on a hot summer day, the river stays very cool, and you can get to the shallows and get off your rental for a bit (just don't let it float back on its own). When you get to the end, just paddle towards the rental shop, and they'll help you transition to land. To sum up, it's a good spot to rent kayak/canoe within the park. No showers or anything, but there's some swimming holes nearby that have showers. Equipments can be better maintained, but for the price, it's really good!

No bathrooms. Yes it's run by teens and young adults. But they are quick witted, helpful and the…read moreprice is right. Some of the other reviewers need to get over themselves. Their expectations are way too high for a low price, low-key, no-impact, slow-speed, stress free activity like this. My wife and I went and had a great time floating the river. It's a great time! Go to the bathroom before you get there. Bring a waterproof disposable camera and don't forget the unscreen!!!

What a great time!!! This is a bucket list activity and we had a fabulous first time experience…read more This is a small establishment with only four lanes. And it is a bustling business. Call and make a reservation. We will definitely make a return trip. The only reason that we give this four stars is because we had two separate workers give us two different sets of procedures. So they kind of need to work together to get that all straight. Also, there was no toilet paper in the bathroom and it needed a little attention .

Booking online was very easy though they also appeared to take walk ins. Staff that greeted us were very friendly and explained the process well to our kids. They have about 4 bays of two and offer either 30 minute or 1 hour options. The 1 hour is only $5 more per person and seemed to be the better deal. Overall, the kids had a good time and we were able to do something different that was not so crowded. They also have a nice gift shop attached if that is your thing.
