Lake Meredith National Recreation Area

Within the dry and windswept high plains of the Texas Panhandle lies a hidden oasis, a welcoming haven where wildlife and humans find respite from the waterless grasslands above. Through this plain, the Canadian River has cut dramatic 200-foot canyons, or breaks, where humans have eked out a living for over 12,000 years. Lake Meredith now occupies these hidden coves where early humans once roamed. Lake Meredith is a year-round park. Fall and winter are mild and perfect for outdoor activities like hiking and camping. Spring flowers are beautiful and come in a variety of colors. Summertime heat is just right for water sports.
