Nestled within the Texas Plains, Lake Meredith National Recreation Area serves
as a tranquil oasis amid the vast, arid grasslands. Over centuries, the
Canadian River has sculpted breathtaking 200-foot canyons—known as breaks—that
now encircle the lake. These secluded coves create diverse ecosystems,
supporting seven distinct habitats that sustain a rich array of wildlife,
including migratory birds
