The Wildlife of Wichita Mountains
By Linda Tancs
Best known for its roaming herds of bison, longhorn and Rocky Mountain elk, Oklahoma’s Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is the oldest managed wildlife facility in the United States Fish and Wildlife Service system. There are abundant opportunities for wildlife photography as well as fishing, bird watching, hiking, camping and kayaking. Take time to explore over 50,000 acres of mixed grass prairie, ancient granite mountains and fresh water lakes and streams. Located near Cache and Lawton, the refuge is open daily from sunrise to sunset.
