§ 02 — OVERVIEW
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 quiet coves sustain an unexpectedly rich array of life, providing seven distinct habitats.
