Review:
Lake Lawtonka is a scenic 2,400-acre man-made lake located in Comanche County in southwestern Oklahoma about 15 miles from the city of Lawton. The Lake Lawtonka was created in 1907 by damming nearby Medicine Bluff Creek. With the scenic Wichita Mountains nearby and almost 20 miles of shoreline, the area is very popular for holidays and weekend recreation. The lake is famous among anglers for its smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, bluegill, and other species of fish. Fishermen and other visitors have access to several full-service marinas, boat ramps, docks, campsites, picnic areas, grills, and other facilities. The Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge consists of 59,000 acres of wild, unspoiled beauty and is home to American bison, white-tailed deer, Texas longhorn cattle, Rocky Mountain elk, coyotes, mountain lions, bobcats, red-tailed hawks, and turkey.
