Meridian State Park
Off State Hwy 22, SW of Meridian, Bosque County. (254)
435-2536
Beautiful mountains, groves of cedar trees, peaceful solitude
on a small lake - just a few descriptors of this magnificent
park. Located in Bosque County just southwest of Meridian,
the hills that make this landscape so enticing consist of the
northern edge of the Texas Hill country.
The park has a few cabins and a pavilion that you can reserve
for family reunions and other parties, as well as boat ramps,
swimming areas, and campsites. When I was there with
David (my son), we met a few feral cats who enjoyed the
remnants of our peanut butter sandwiches. There were also
some mean ducks and a slew of buzzards resting in treetops
that, once you follow the park road, you tower over. Talk
about a bird's eye view!
While you're in the area, check out pretty Meridian with its old
courthouse and swing by Cranfills Gap, a Norwegian hamlet
just southeast of the park.
As always, normal park fees apply - and the crowds aren't so
bad during the week and in early spring.
