Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in Comanche County, Oklahoma, US.
The refuge spans 59,020 acres of mixed grass prairie, granite mountains, and fresh water lakes in southwestern Oklahoma.
President Theodore Roosevelt designated this area as a wildlife refuge in 1905 to protect native animals and birds in their natural habitat.
The Quanah Parker Nature Center displays exhibits about regional wildlife, Native American history, and the natural landscape of the Wichita Mountains.
Visitors can access hiking trails, camping areas, and fishing spots through the main gates on Highway 49 from Interstate 44.
The refuge maintains free-roaming herds of American bison and Texas longhorn cattle among the ancient granite formations.
