Set within the wide‑open Texas Plains, Lake Meredith National Recreation Area offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of rugged grasslands. Over thousands of years, the Canadian River carved dramatic 200‑foot canyons—known as breaks—that now frame the lake in striking layers of color and texture. These sheltered coves nurture a surprising diversity of life, supporting seven unique habitats.
Boating is a great way to explore the lake. Keep zebra and quagga mussels out. Remember to Clean, Drain, & Dry and wear your PFD.
Find current information on fire danger or current fires.
Enjoy hiking at Lake Meredith on several trails with diverse habitats.
Lake Meredith National Recreation Area offers 11 different campgrounds to enjoy the lake or find an off-the-grid campsite.
