About this swimming hole
Bath Lake is Medicine Park's historic swimming hole, a creek-fed lake in the Wichita Mountains resort town. The water is clear with a rocky bottom and varying depths, from wading to deep enough for jumping. There is no lifeguard and a small seasonal fee; it is swimming the way Oklahoma did it a century ago.
