Day & Evening Vibes
So let's talk about the vibe so you can pack the right summer outfits and other essentials. Broken Bow and the surrounding area of Hochatown tend to be pretty casual, so during the day, it's usually some version of a swim suit under a tank top or tee shirt and shorts with flip flops. If you're hiking through Beavers Bend State Park, you'll want to go for tall socks and a pair of hiking boots with some kind of comfy workout outfit in addition to a bag or backpack.
In the evenings if you're going out for a romantic dinner for two or a group outing, you can dress up a bit if you like with a fun sundress however, keep in mind that the terrain in some areas is gravel so leave the heels at home and opt for flip flops or wedges. As long as you can walk on uneven surfaces, you should be good to go! The weather also tends to be a bit on the humid side in the summertime, so light breathable layers work best to feel nice and cool in the heat.
