And, don’t be surprised if you see cute little critters popping up out of the ground - these are prairie dogs and have made a home at the refuge. It’s very likely to spot buffalo, longhorn cattle, deer, elk if you’re lucky, various species of birds, and more. The Wichita Mountains, located just outside of Lawton towards Fort Sill, comprises over 59,000 glorious acres of scenic views, lakes, trails, and is a perfect place to get away from the city and enjoy the great outdoors. This is what every outdoor enthusiast is looking for - a place to hike, bike, camp, fish, view wildlife, and even climb a mountain. If you’re an outdoorsy person, this could very well be the most important place you’ll spend most of your time when visiting Lawton. It was built in 1902 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In that case, I do believe you’ll find this town to be quite interesting, as I did from the old courthouse building to the historic churches with steeples, the high school that looks like a courthouse, and the oldest building in Lawton - the First Presbyterian Church of Lawton - on 8th Street. Whether you are just driving around town or stopping in for a visit and a see, there are quite a few historic buildings to marvel over.
