You don't need to own a boat or a UTV to spend a day on Broken Bow Lake or the local trails — a handful of local outfitters rent both by the hour or the day. Here's who's actually operating in the area.
Overview
Boat and ATV rentals here run through independent local outfitters, not the state park itself — Beavers Bend’s own trails are hiking-only, and boat rentals aren’t handled through the park’s marina system exclusively either. That means rates, minimum rental lengths, and what’s included (fuel, tubes, life jackets) vary by company, so it’s worth calling ahead rather than assuming.
Boat & Pontoon Rentals
Beavers Bend Marina rents pontoons, jet skis, and houseboats, and also handles boat slip rentals directly on Broken Bow Lake.
Economy Boat Rentals offers pontoon rentals in the Broken Bow area.
Tangled Webb Adventures runs pontoon rentals in Broken Bow and Hochatown with a minimum three-hour rental.
Hochatown Pontoon and Boat Rentals offers both self-drive and captained pontoon trips on the lake.
Pricing, minimum rental windows, and what’s included (fuel, tubes, life jackets) vary by outfitter — confirm details directly when you book.
ATV & UTV Rentals
Bandits ATV and Boat Rentals rents UTVs and pontoons in the area, with Polaris Ranger UTVs available for half or full-day rides.
Captain’s Hideaway Powersports Rentals rents UTVs and Jeeps for 4, 8, or 24-hour windows, and includes helmets and a trail map with every rental.
As covered in our ATV trails guide, none of this runs through Beavers Bend State Park itself — riding happens on separate trail systems, and outfitters can tell you exactly which trails your rental is permitted on. Look up current contact info for whichever outfitter you choose and confirm rates and availability before you go.
Local Tips
Call ahead, especially for summer weekends — both boat and ATV rentals in this area get booked up, and some outfitters require a minimum rental length that’s worth knowing before you plan your day around it. If you’re renting a boat, ask what’s actually included (fuel, tubes, life jackets) before you compare prices between outfitters, since it isn’t always apples to apples.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to bring my own boat or ATV to Broken Bow?
No — several local outfitters rent pontoons, jet skis, and UTVs by the hour, half-day, or full day. Nothing here requires owning your own equipment.
How far ahead should I book a boat or ATV rental?
For summer weekends, book several days to a couple weeks ahead if you can — both boat and ATV rentals get busy in peak season and some outfitters require a minimum rental length.
Can I ride a rented ATV or UTV inside Beavers Bend State Park?
No — the park's trails aren't open to motorized vehicles. ATV/UTV outfitters run their rentals on separate trail systems outside the park; ask the outfitter directly which trails their rental is permitted on.
Do boat rentals include life jackets and safety gear?
Most local outfitters include life jackets, and several also include a tube for tubing at no extra cost — confirm what's included when you book, since it varies by company.
