Medicine Park
About Medicine Park
Medicine Park is Oklahoma's original resort town, founded in 1908 as a planned recreation community at the base of the Wichita Mountains. Known for its distinctive cobblestone architecture, natural swimming areas, and stunning mountain scenery, Medicine Park feels like stepping into a storybook village.
The town is home to Bath Lake — a spring-fed swimming hole perfect for families — as well as the Medicine Park Aquarium and Natural Sciences Center, a growing restaurant row, and charming artisan shops. It's a popular weekend destination and a beloved year-round home for residents who appreciate its quiet pace and natural beauty.
