About this swimming hole

Cross Timbers State Park has swimming beaches along Toronto Lake in the oak-savanna hills of the Verdigris River valley. The park sits just south of Toronto in a landscape that feels more like the Ozarks than the plains. It is a scenic, wooded alternative to the open prairie beaches of western Kansas.
