There’s nothing like a swim in a freshwater creek on a hot summer day. Luckily, we have some gorgeous ones to choose from in the Sooner State and one of my favorites is Pennigton Creek in Tishomingo. It’s known for its cool running water that pours over a dam creating a small waterfall.

It’s also a great swimming hole because the sides of the creek have sandy beaches.
