About Meridian State Park
Meridian State Park is one of Texas's hidden gems: a quiet 503-acre park in the cedar hills of Bosque County, centered on spring-fed Lake Meridian. Established in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the park has a rustic character that feels genuinely off the beaten path. Its spring-fed lake is excellent for fishing and swimming, its limestone trails wind through native cedar and oak, and its campgrounds are rarely crowded compared to more famous Texas state parks. For guests at Itasca Creek RV Park seeking a quiet nature day, Meridian rewards the drive with solitude and hill-country scenery.
Highlights
- Spring-fed Lake Meridian: fishing for bass, catfish, and sunfish in a clear spring-fed reservoir
- Designated swim area with pleasant lake swimming during summer months
- CCC-era stone structures: trails, bridges, and buildings built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s
- 5 miles of hiking trails through limestone hills and cedar-oak woodlands
- White-tailed deer, wild turkey, painted buntings, and woodland songbirds, making for excellent wildlife viewing
- Camping available: reserve at ReserveAmerica.com well in advance for popular weekends
