I had to visit the lake with my name. Beautiful lake with mesas around it.

Uncle Sam has done himself proud. It’s been 20+ years since I’d been to lake Meriden and had heard that because of water levels it had been run down. THANKFULLY NOT SO! Very enjoyable place to disperse camp, even has some full hook up sites (didn’t enquirer about price as there was so many excellent free spots ). We’ll make a point to stop here on our future travels.

The best way to view the lake is on the lake. You can rent boats at the Sanford-Yake boat launch ramp. The best place to camp is also at Sanford-Yake; it's free:) You can enjoy swimming at Spring Canyon. Don't forget to take a guided tour at Alibates Flint Quarry.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

It's Me | Jul 8, 2018

There are fire pits at some campsite that can be used to bbq. However, depending on the season and weather conditions there may be a burn ban restricting use of the pits. Your best bet would be to call and ask to avoid any issues.

Is there places to shoot out there? That won’t be a burden?

1sLOW_ Obs | Jul 7, 2019
Lori Woodward | Jul 8, 2019

No, not to my knowledge there most certainly is not. And there's a shooting range on the Tampa Highway when you're going out of Borger. But this out here is a National Park area and I don't really think that they have that anything like that

How is the fishing at this lake? I know it had low water levels for several years. I heard that walleye were stocked in this lake and you can catch them here

kaitlyn camden | Jul 7, 2019

Yes, you can swim there. The water is brackish. So you needed to shower afterwards. The campgrounds are 24 hrs.
