Lawton

Lawton has a neat recreation area - it's open to the public and FREE. It's called Lake Elmer Thomas Recreation Area (LETRA) - http://www.sillmwr.com/letra.html. We went this weekend and it was really fun! Two slides that go into a small pool. Sand beach to the lake. Bathrooms/showers available. And there were even two huge covered areas. It was about an hour from Wichita Falls.
