Bullheads Bar and Grill
You don't have to camp at Rivers Edge to enjoy the view at Bullheads Bar and Grill. Nestled on the Wisconsin River, Bullheads offers classic Wisconsin dishes with a twist, with a spacious outdoor dining area. Come by boat or car, and after a meal, relax on the grassy area overlooking the water or stick around for entertainment (from live music to fireworks) in the summer.
Tiki Beach Bar and Grill
Every day is a beach day at Tiki Beach Bar and Grill! Take a break from the beach and head a few steps up to their bar and grill for a refreshing drink, snack-size appetizer, or hearty meal. Or, stay in your swimsuit all day and have food brought right down to your beach chair! Stop back at night for live music throughout the summer and fireworks around the Fourth of July. For more fun, rent a paddleboard or kayak and explore Lake DuBay in a new way.
Clearwater Harbor
Just east of Stevens Point you'll find Clearwater Harbor. This popular restaurant and bar sits on the Waupaca Chain O' Lakes and offers much more than waterfront views - including boat cruises, live music, and ice cream through Moo's Ice Cream Shoppe on-site. Whether you pull-up by boat or car, you'll find a wide variety of options on their menu and friendly service. Looking for more adventure? Rent some gear to get out on the chain, with Adventure Outfitters renting everything from pontoons to paddleboards.
Bahamas On The River
Hop right off the boat into a feeling of paradise at Bahamas On The River, where a large dock and patio umbrellas will make you crave the Wisconsin River the second you leave it. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and American-style menu options, or rent a kayak and get out on the water after your meal!
