The National Park Service administers the recreation area under a cooperative agreement with Bureau of Reclamation. The town of Fritch, on the east side of Lake Meredith, is a good place to stop for fishing bait and other supplies. On the lake itself, the marina offers basic supplies, food and the use of a fishing hut, for a fee, to keep you cozy in the winter and cool in the summer. The breeze that typically accompanies a day on Lake Meredith should keep you cautious on the water but, also, can be used to your advantage. Sailing and windsurfing are prime examples of fun activities in the wind.
Many ski bums make it a regular stop after the snow melts in the Rockies.
I've been a lot of places and this is as good as any inland lake for windsurfing. The fishin's not bad either. Recent high water levels have created a fish production paradise. The Lake Meredith Recreation Area is located northeast of Amarillo about 30 miles. You can call the ranger station or marina for directions and more information.
