Lake Meredith
Lake Meredith lies on the dry and windswept plains of the Texas Panhandle. The lake was created to supply water for 11 cities and to create recreational opportunities such as fishing, boating, waterskiing, sailing, scuba diving, and swimming. The backcountry surrounding the lake provides areas for hunting, camping, horseback riding, and hiking.

Climate
Weather in this part of Texas is known for its changeability. A common Panhandle saying is, "If you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes, and it will change!" Summer temperatures can reach 100 or more; winters are usually mild, but may bring snow, sleet, or hail. Tornadoes, windstorms, and lightning can also occur - be sure to check current conditions before heading out onto the lake.
