| Medicine Park - Southwest (Great Plains Country) | |||||||||
This tiny cobblestone community in the Wichita Mountains was Oklahoma's first resort area during the 1920s and 30s, attracting politicians, journalists, celebrities and gangsters. Today the town is making a comeback and offers travelers unique dining, cottage stays, art galleries and entertainment. The town's spirit combines the early Native American healing powers from the area and family resort characteristics from its founding days. The beauty and aura of Medicine Park appeals to a number of artists, crafters, and musicians who make their home here, as well as outdoor lovers. Numerous gift shops and galleries offer American Indian items, wood crafts, stained glass, pottery and other novelties. Dining options include Riverside Cafe, The Medicine Park Mercantile, or the Meers Store, where the longhorn burgers are a local favorite. And nearby Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge provides a haven for the outdoor enthusiast, offering miles of hiking trails, mountain biking, rock climbing, camping, and some incredible scenery.
