ℹ️About Medicine Park:

Medicine Park is built for slow wandering, creek views, and quick access to some of Oklahoma’s best natural spaces.

Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge — One of the top attractions in the region, with hiking, bison and longhorn viewing, scenic drives, and iconic spots like Mount Scott and the Holy City. 
Bath Lake — A spring-fed swimming area right in town, great for relaxing, wading, or people‑watching along the creek. It’s a favorite for families and visitors.
Creekside walking paths — Easy strolls along Medicine Creek with bridges, waterfalls, and red rock views.
Bring your fishing pole!  April sits right at the transition between winter trout season and warm‑water species waking up. Fish for Rainbow Trout, largemouth bass, bluegill, sunfish & channel cat. 🎣
