Medicine Park named most charming Oklahoma small town
Neatly tucked away in the Wichita Mountains, Medicine Park offers residents and visitors alike a "certain charm," HGTV says. The network crowned
Medicine Park the most charming small town in Oklahoma, saying its proximity to Lake Lawtonka and the small business scene are great visits. "Medicine Park feels almost hidden in the
Wichita Mountains in Southwestern Oklahoma. But that’s part of its charm, along with its many shops and restaurants built in old cobblestone structures made from locally quarried granite. In fair weather, visitors congregate at Bath Lake, a restored "swimming hole," mountain bike on the Lawtonka trail system, paddle board or just relax in comfortable rental cabins."
