Midwest City

Just minutes from Oklahoma City, Midwest City has the distinction of being the largest city in eastern Oklahoma County and proud neighbor of Tinker Air Force Base, the largest single-site employer in the state. Tee off at the John Conrad Regional Golf Course, rated by Golf Digest's "Places to Play" as a four-star golf course, or cool off at the city's new million dollar water park, Reno Swim and Slice. Baseball aficionados will find the Carl Hubbell Museum a fascinating find – it's filled with memorabilia from the famous left-handed pitcher who played with the New York Giants from 1928 to 1943. Take a break with a water-side picnic at Lake Stanley Draper, which offers plenty of quiet spots for relaxing amid 34 miles of shoreline.
