Oklahoma may be full of swimming holes that you can visit in the sweltering heat but we think we may have found our favorite. Medicine Creek is located about 20 minutes from Lawton in Medicine Park and is a perfect place to spend all day in crystal-clear, cool water. Keep scrolling to learn more.
The town of Medicine Park is one of the real hidden gems in Oklahoma. This quaint little town is the perfect place to get away from the big city hustle and bustle.
Medicine Creek runs right through the town of Medicine Park, which is about 20 minutes from Lawton. It's situated near the base of the Wichita Mountains so the views are stunning.
There is a small fee to visit Medicine Park's swimming and natural bath area. However, kids five and under are always free so feel free to bring out the whole family.
For the more adventurous types, we suggest canoeing Medicine Creek instead of just staying in one place all day. You can see more of this beautiful part of the Sooner State from the water.
We cannot think of a better way to spend an entire day than laying around at Medicine Creek with your friends and family with a cold drink in hand. This swimming hole is sure to make your summer day memorable.
