Hiking, rock climbing or taking a scenic drive are just a few of the things you can do in the area. While on the wildlife refuge you may encounter American Bison, or White-tailed Deer along with many more animals. the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Visitor Center offers free admission to exhibits that will give you a detailed history of the are. From the Visitor Center, feel free to roam and make your own discoveries. 
Situated in the Wichita Mountains near the entrance of the Wildlife Refuge, the vintage cobblestone resort town of Medicine Park is a must-see when visiting the area. many of the town's original buildings are constructed from naturally formed red granite cobblestones, unique to the Wichita Mountains. Medicine Park was Oklahoma's first planned tourism resort, founded on July 4th, 1908 by Oklahoma's first Senator, Elmer Thomas.
Another point of interest is the Wichita Mountain Winery. The winery is a great place to take in the scenery while enjoying a wine tasting.
While just a short drive from Lawyton, Oklahoma, the Wichita Mountains seem like another world away. The beautiful scenery, as well as the numerous activities, provide a great getaway.
