Pawnee Bathhouse Is A Beautiful Fresh Water Swimming Hole In Oklahoma

It feels like summer has officially arrived even though we technically still have a few weeks to go. The weather is starting to get hot and muggy, pools are filling up with kids, and the mosquitoes are starting to be quite bothersome. At least our June weather isn’t projected to break any records, in fact it looks like this month is going to be a little cooler than normal — but when those hot days hit and you’re looking for a great swimming hole, check out Pawnee Bathhouse — a 2-acre freshwater swimming spot that’s the perfect place to spend a summer’s day.

The Pawnee Bathhouse was built in 1939 and overlooks a 2-acre freshwater swimming hole. This historic building is made from sandstone rock and is available to rent throughout the year for special events.

You can also sit poolside on the sandy beach in the lounge chairs or on your towel while the kids swim nearby.

The big yellow slide has a nice little drop-off and will keep the kids entertained for hours.
