The Pawnee Bathhouse is a two-acre freshwater pool with a sandy beach, water slide, high dive, diving board, and paddle boats at Pawnee Lake. It’s the perfect place to cool off this summer and is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day during the hottest season in Oklahoma.
From sandy beaches to historic architecture to high dives and low dives, this freshwater swimming hole will have you relaxing and enjoying a little slice of heaven right here in Oklahoma.
The Pawnee Bathhouse was built in 1939 and overlooks a 2-acre freshwater swimming hole. This historic building is made from sandstone rock and is available to rent throughout the year for special events.
And on top of that, there is a gigantic trampoline and platform in the middle of the swimming hole that is so much fun. You'll find several picnic sites in the area, including a relaxing gazebo. The price of admission is only $4 for ages 17 & older, $3 for ages 3-16, and 2 and under are free.
The facility opens for the season on May 27, 2020, and will stay open until the beginning of school for the 2020 season.
Every summer in Oklahoma when the heat becomes overwhelming, Oklahomans swarm to the lakes, creeks, rivers and swimming holes to cool down. As the lakes begin to warm up in the summer, most swimming holes stay ice-cold and are the perfect spot to relax and take a dip in the refreshing water.
