It's summer here in Oklahoma...and many other places in the world. Here are our Top 5 Things to Do in (SW) Oklahoma. So when you're staying at the Stone Turtle, you'll know how to get the most of your time here.
5. Movie afternoons at Liberty Theatre
When it's just too dang hot outside, we like to head over to Carnegie for a move. The Liberty Theatre is the oldest continuously run movie theater in Oklahoma. It's just a 20 minute drive to Carnegie, and you can make it an idyllic small-town summer moment to remember with a visit to the diner just down the road and a picture in front of the amazing town mural. Find out movie titles and times

4. Early Morning Kayaking
Bring your kayaks and paddle on Lake Lawtonka, in Apache, OK, or in the Wildlife Refuge. We know some lovely spots.
3. Coffees in the Refuge
We love to brew some coffee, pack our coffee mugs, and find a nice spot in the Wichita Mountains to sit and observe the gorgeous Oklahoma prairie.

2. Morning Swims in Medicine Park
You haven't experienced Medicine Park until you've taken a dip in Bath Lake and enjoyed a scone and coffee at Cobblescones Coffee Shop. Swim monitors are there starting at 10 AM. $3/person.
1. Watching the sun set from the Stone Turtle
It's our number one Oklahoma Summer Thing. The view of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge from our vacation rental, Faith, is one-in-a-million. And, you can still see the stars from the Stone Turtle, so sun set watching turns into star gazing.
Credible Mentions:
Plum picking on the back forty. Maybe that's our top "country" thing to do: picking wild plums.
