Anyone familiar with Broken Bow, Oklahoma?

Good afternoon ladies and gents, I just booked a vacation in Broken Bow, Ok in late July with the family and was hoping to get some insider tips, info, etc on Broken Bow Lake activities and things to do around there.
Any locals on these boards or peeps who have vacationed there in the past want to provide any knowledge, feel free to drop them in this thread!
The only thing we've done so far besides booking our cabin, is we booked a pontoon boat rental for a full day on Broken Bow Lake. So I'd love to hear any cool stories of great places to drop anchor and swim, fish, etc that maybe are off the beaten path.
Other than that, we are wide open planning wise for the rest of our weeklong stay and just curious if anyone has some solid recommendations.

I rented an RV and stayed in a campground last summer. The tail waters are stocked with trout year round. Go down into the canoe and kayak rental area, take a dip in some ice cold water, and catch some fish.
You can rent kayaks and SUPs. Its worth paddling around a bit and checking out the scenery.
Theres a little brewery and pizza joint in "downtown". Probably the only one.
Stop by the giant souvenir store (cant remember the name of it either but there seemed to be only one).
ETA Mountain Fork Brewery

Grateful Head Pizza
Live in sallisaw, wife works with a guy that goes 3 or 4 times a year. He goes for the fishing. She will get recs from him and I will update. All she could remember was the pizza place, that there is a brewery there and she thinks there is a winery too. Her co-worker usually books a guide.

Like everyone said-the pizza place is good. Trout fishing is good in the tail waters. Get a guide. Rentals are inexpensive. I had no experience on the lake.

I don't live too far from there and go there quit a bit. Grateful Head (the pizza place) is good but not worth the wait if you don't get there at a decent time. Beavers Bend brewery is ok and the new brewery (Mountain Fork) just to the north us a good time as well. In that same strip mall is the distillery and an escape room.
Go on a kayak trip on the Mountain Fork River. Believe it or not, there are several chutes that are challenging and fun.
The golf course is ok there and cheap if you golf. If you ride UTVs/ATVs, there a few trails around there. The trout fishing is solid especially if you fly fish. If you don't, use an ultralight with salmon eggs or use a 1/16 oz Rooster Tail.
Women like Girls Gone Wine but that wine is sweet and not worth it to me. Also the distillery to the north by Mountain Fork Brewery is good. Sorry I am pretty stoned and drunk.
And of course, there is a Choctaw casino in Broken Bow. Have fun. The cabins are generally very nice.

Wife and I went there for our honeymoon (second marriage for both of us).
Cabins are nice, plenty of things to do in the area. Thinking of going back soon.

They release fish in the river every other Thursday.
If you are there on the right day they say its real easy to catch a few trout.
None of the food was bad, but the bbq place was about the best. But like everywhere else right now they dont have enough wait staff. Lunch was easier to go out then supper.
Go on a canoe trip, ride the train to see the deer, search the all trail app for a place to hike.

Broken Bow is God’s country.
Be careful noodling, probably not worth it. Grab a fly rod and fish the Lower Mountain Fork.

Broken Bow
We stayed in 2 bd 2 bath - Rustic Retreat
Broken Bow Vacation Cabins
Monday arrived 3:00 - went to Pruett’s grocery - got very things we needed - very expensive but the local store
Supper - Mt Fork Brewery - we had burgers - delicious- place for kids to play & roam
Played mini golf & had ice cream
Tuesday - guys fly fished - booked through Beavers Bend Fly Shop (it’s inside state park)
We then rode the Train & horses inside The park (there are signs)
Then we went & ate at the Hochatown Saloon for lunch
Rested for a little while
Then, we went to friendship trail (Google will guide you there - make sure you download AllTrails app to help you on trail)- we got down to the water & stick our feet in but didn’t let kids play here - just our choice
Supper - Grateful Head Pizza - great pizza
Wednesday - we went to the Beavers Bend Kayak & canoe - we rented & they took us to our starting point - then we kayaked a couple hours - found our way into a pretty cove right before we ended our trip
Lunch - Foggy Bottoms (inside the park)
Then, we went where you saw my pics of the clear pool . We followed these directions. Very easy walk - seemed weird but was awesome
?
Supper - gutter chaos - food was so so but we bowled & played in arcade
Then we chased lightening bugs (as we call them)
