Meridian State Park, State park in Bosque County, United States.
Meridian State Park is a 505-acre property with a 72-acre lake created by a rock and earthen dam on Bee Creek. The lake sits amid limestone formations and is connected by walking trails throughout the grounds.
The Texas-Santa Fe expedition passed near this location in 1841 when Tonkawa and Tawakoni Indians occupied the land. Anglo settlement followed in the decades after.
The Civilian Conservation Corps shaped this place between 1933 and 1935 by building infrastructure that remains in use today. You can see their work reflected in how the park is structured and functions now.
The park offers several overnight options, including eight sites with full hookups and six with electrical connections. Primitive camping areas and group facilities that sleep up to 72 people are also available.
The park serves as a nesting ground for golden-cheeked warblers from March to July, a species under protection. These rare birds find a safe habitat here during breeding season.
