Escape The Heat This Summer At Flint Creek Waterpark, A Family-Friendly Swimming Hole In Oklahoma
The Sooner State has some great swimming holes and one of my favorites is Flint Creek Waterpark in northeast Oklahoma. The main attraction here is the crystal-clear cold water, which makes it the perfect spot to escape the heat this summer. This family-friendly swimming hole is open seven days a week in the summer, so plan a little getaway the next time you’re looking for a refreshing place to cool off.

You can bring your own food and drinks and set up camp all day. You'll also want to bring chairs, towels and water shoes to make your day more enjoyable.
Unfortunately, the slide closed down but there is still so much to do and explore at the waterpark. The price of admission to the waterpark is only $2 for adults, $1 for children and $6 for parking.
