    This was our first time out to LETRA And I have to say that we definitely enjoyed ourselves. We got off to a late start which caused us to only have about an hour of swimming but while we were there the water felt great and the scenery was amazing. Our cabin was wonderful and had a great view for us to enjoy the sunset. Unfortunately we weren't able to rent kayaks because they shut down rentals at 1700, however we will be back and we will have another opportunity to rent some another time. The other people who were staying in the cabins were very considerate and weren't loud and obnoxious all night which made our stay that much nicer. I recommend laying out in the middle of the night and just enjoying the sky.

    There was peeling paint on our cabin, spiderwebs in many places outside, and a piece missing on our bench on the porch.

    Such a beautiful place. I stayed here this past weekend for a yogalife teacher retreat, and boy did…read moreI have a great time!! The drive was beautiful, canyons, country, and windmills! The camp is tucked down hill in a canyon. One of the best things about this place is--- NO CELL PHONE RECEPTION! You must go up the huge hill to get any. (YES!) There is a ton of cabins, so cute, old, red and quaint! And then there is a new conference area with rooms, a kitchen, a living space, private and public bathrooms. The room I shared had three beds, two twins and a full. A ac, a bathroom with a shower, no tvs! The hall to the rooms have skylights and natural light flows in during the day. The end of the hall, is a door to outside, and faces a canyon wall. The new area is surrounded by the canyon, which is really cool!! Free wi-fi as well for those who need to stay connected to Facebook! The left of the building (when your facing it) has a cute little red gazebo tucked away, which is really nice for meditation. Like I stated earlier, there are other places to say here. I'm assuming for the kiddos who come camping, which in glad I don't stay in their, as I peeked they looked very uncomfortable. The grounds had a pool, playground, meditation labyrinth, tiny chapel, a rope wall, and a short hiking trail to a cross overlooking the camp. I saw deer, and a ton of wild turkeys! So very very nice. Another nice thing is it is 20 mins away from the town of Hinton and the Grand Canyon state park! So after the retreat I took a short detour and explored those areas. VERY VERY NICE, I would highly recommend for those planning a event, (wedding! Retreat! Family reunion!) very relaxing.

The gardens are located within one of Oklahoma City's oldest parks. Originally the land was a dairy farm. The Northwest Park was established in 1912. In 1932, Oklahoma City Horticulturalist Henry Walter began to develop the northern portion of the Northwest Park into the 30-acre garden. Walter designed the ponds, plant beds, overlooks and other structures. Federal Works Projects Administration (WPA) and Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) programs added the red rock walls. It was renamed in 1936 to honor humorist Will Rogers. Today, you can visit a wide variety of gardens and flowerbeds. The Iris Garden was blooming and there was an Iris Festival featuring award winning flowers. so beautiful. There were so many birds and a very cute Eastern cottontail bunny hopped through the colorful plant beds. Parking was easy. Location was great. The gardens are free to visit. A beautiful park to visit in Oklahoma City.

Today, the Ed Lycan Conservatory (a glass enclosed greenhouse) is available as an event hall for weddings and other celebrations. The Charles E. Sparks Color Garden nestles between the two ponds of the garden and contains seasonal blossoms. The Margaret Annis Boys Arboretum features hundreds of varieties of trees. Will Rogers Gardens also provides hands-on gardening and horticulture classes throughout the year. The iris gardens is also beautiful during the spring blooming season. An awesome public garden in Oklahoma City.
