Bosque Hiking Trail

Meridian State Park was opened to the public in 1935 and has all the weathered charm of a grand old outdoors recreation facility. At a tiny 505 acres, Meridian wouldn’t at first glance appear to have much to offer. But the landscape surrounds a sweet little 72-acre lake, formed along Bee Creek after a rock and earthen dam was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The 5-mph, no-wake policy makes conditions on the lake ideal for swimming or fishing from a canoe. The park features rentable screened shelters for relatively bug-free camping.
