Lake Meredith National Recreation Area
Lake Meredith
A reservoir in the Canadian River canyon, ringed by red cliffs, offering boating, fishing, camping and birdwatching.
Lake Meredith was formed when the Sanford Dam was completed in 1965. It is managed by the U.S. National Park Service, and its shores are red cliffs and mesas about 60 metres high. In summer you can go boating, water-skiing and fishing for largemouth bass. Nearby are several free campgrounds and off-road vehicle areas. In recent drought years the water level has been low, and some boat ramps have been closed, so check the official website before setting out. It is about 55 km from Amarillo and can be combined with Alibates Flint Quarries on the same day.
