Close to Meers Cafe to Lake Lawtonka section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS III-IV 3 miles
Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Oklahoma is often easier than elsewhere, so don't forget that many runs in this state are very easy. This section of Jimmy Creek in Oklahoma is 3 miles long and is a class III-IV section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. If you're coming from Lawton it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, as you can see on the road map further down. The Close to Meers Cafe to Lake Lawtonka section is the only paddling section along Jimmy Creek. When you're paddling down a Wichita Mountains river like this one
you always get great scenery along the way too. This is a somewhat short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The campgrounds here at Jimmy Creek are pretty good. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you
want to stay the night, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The scenic beauty of Oklahoma and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more.
