Meridian State Park

Meridian State Park
173 Park Road #7
254-435-2536

Hill Country Outpost
Nestled among limestone bluffs at the top of the Hill Country, you’ll find a tranquil place to unwind with your family. We’re 50 miles northwest of Waco.

Things to Do
For a small park, Meridian has lots to offer. On 72-acre Lake Meridian, you can cool off with a swim, drop a line, or go for a paddle. On land, you can picnic, explore our trails, watch for wildlife, camp overnight, and admire historic structures that the Civilian Conservation Corps built over 80 years ago. Reserve our group hall for your next reunion.

Hiking
Explore five miles of trails on foot. The 2.2-mile Bosque Hiking Trail circles Lake Meridian, taking you past lime­stone out­croppings and scenic over­looks. If you are quiet, you might catch a glimpse of wildlife, too. A portion of the Shinnery Ridge Trail is accessible for wheelchairs.

Fishing
Try your luck fishing in the no-wake lake. We provide shore­line access and an ADA-acces­sible fishing pier. We loan fishing gear for use in the park. You do not need a license to fish from shore, pier or boat at Meridian State Park.

Paddling
Rent a watercraft year-round at head­quarters. We provide life jackets and paddles with all rentals. Choose from:

three single kayaks
three double kayaks
four standup paddleboards
four canoes
one Jon boat (no motor).

Camping
Choose from primitive up to full hook­up campsites. Gather your group at one of our group camps.

We also have screened shelters and three cabins.

Birding
Watch and listen for endangered golden-cheeked warblers, who nest here from March to July.
