The Swimming Spot In Oklahoma You Must Visit Before Summer’s Over

We may be halfway through August, but the hot summer weather isn’t going to let up anytime soon. With temperatures in the 90s, it’s time to head for a nice, cool swimming hole.

While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

Turner Falls Park is the perfect combination of wilderness and a developed recreation area. It's surrounded by natural beauty, but offers plenty of amenities, too.
