Quiz: What Should You Do This Afternoon in McCurtain County?
Crush your bucket list!
You’re on vacation to try something new, so wader up. This afternoon, you’re finally giving fly fishing a whirl. Your friendly local guide will show you all the secret honey holes, and after you’ve kissed your record rainbow trout, you’re ready to hit the ziplines at Rugaru Adventures. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, those alligator sausages and tomahawk steaks you picked up from Mountain Man Meat Market are ready to grill back at the cabin.
Make family memories!
Whether you brought the kids or you’re a kid at heart, you’re gonna feel like one this afternoon. First up, horseback and train rides at Beavers Bend Depot, followed by some paddle boating on the Lower Mountain Fork River. When your belly starts rumbling, Cheese Styx at Grateful Head Pizza Oven hit the spot for everyone. But save room for dessert, because you’re toasting up gourmet s’mores when the campfire starts roaring tonight. Mmmm.
Live luxuriously!
You’re all about the finer things, baby. This afternoon, you and the crew are treating yourselves to a Hochatown winery tour. Don’t forget to pick up a few bottles for a night full of hot tubbin’ and hot goss back at the cabin later. But before you put on your bathing suit, dinner’s just as indulgent with some cocktails, steak, and pasta at Abendigo’s Grill & Patio.
Keep it comfy!
Put on your best sweatpants because you’re keeping it casual today. Start the afternoon with a chill nature walk on Tree Trail, then some serene Mountain Biking through Beavers Bend State Park After seeing the sights, it’s time for some comfort food with all the fixins at Jake’s Brickhouse Grill in Idabel. Back at the cabin, keep it low key with some stargazing and drinks on the porch.
Go adventurin'!
You’re up for anything, so get ready to get a little muddy this afternoon. You’re going on a high-flying ATV ride ride through the woods, followed by some kayaking over the rapids at Presbyterian Falls. You’ll need to refuel after all that heart-racing fun, and Shuck Me's fried catfish and fish tacos are sure to hit the spot. Later at the cabin, game night’s getting a little rowdy. Just like every game night does when you’re involved.
Live large – on a little!
You’re here to have a good time, not a pricey time. Save your bucks and head to the Museum of the River in Idabel for free admission to over 30,000 artifacts and Oklahoma’s state dinosaur. For lunch, you’re keeping it simple with a Big Daddy corn dog at The HochaHut, followed by a scenic cruise down the Talimena National Scenic Byway. Back at the cabin, get to building that pillow fort, because tonight’s a movie night like never before.
