Why go there?
Situated in the Texas Panhandle, Lake Meredith National Recreation Area is a serene oasis for humans and wildlife alike. The centerpiece of the park is 10,000-acre Lake Meredith, a reservoir created by Sanford Dam on the Canadian River. The lake and its surroundings offer a variety of activities for visitors, including boating, fishing, swimming, camping, hiking, and hunting. Unfortunately, due to record-low water levels, many of these activities have been suspended in recent years. However, five boat launch ramps remain open, and park headquarters are still in operation. With its beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife, Lake Meredith National Recreation Area is a great place to enjoy the outdoors.
