Lake Lawtonka is a reservoir located near Lawton, Oklahoma. The lake was created in 1901 by the construction of a dam on Medicine Creek. The hydrology of the lake is primarily sourced from the Medicine Creek and tributaries of the Wichita River. The lake serves as a primary water supply for the City of Lawton, and it also provides irrigation water to nearby agricultural lands. The surface flow of the lake is heavily influenced by the amount of snowpack in the Wichita Mountains, which feed into the lake during the spring melt. Recreation activities such as fishing, boating, and camping are popular on the lake. The lake features several marinas, boat ramps, and day-use areas for visitors to enjoy.
