Lake Meredith, TX
Lake Meredith is about as big as the nuclear power plant reservoir I used to sail on. It’s a decent-sized lake, but I have to say, though, that the maps to the boat ramps suck. We spent a good deal of time on a twisty, dirt road, driving for 6 miles. It wasn’t until we saw a “Hunters: Shotgun and Archery Only” sign that I figured out that we were supposed to take the second turn.
If you’re ever in the area, there is the cutest canyon, just opposite of the Albites ranch. It has a little grove of trees, and is sheltered between two very tall canyon cliffs. It looks like a hideout for a band of robbers in a Zane Grey novel. Of course, northern Texas is full of these little hideouts, but this one was particularly cute.
