Meridian State Park

Meridian State Park is a charming CCC-built park surrounding a 72-acre spring-fed lake in the limestone hills north of Waco. The Bosque River Valley setting, clear lake waters, and dense juniper woodland create an inviting landscape. The park is known for excellent birdwatching, particularly for the endangered golden-cheeked warbler.
