At the edge of Palo Duro Canyon, on the outskirts of Canyon, Texas you’ll find a hidden panhandle gem in Bar Z Winery. Not to be confused with a vineyard, Bar Z works with Texas High Plains vineyard owners and takes their high-quality Texas grown grapes and makes them into award-winning, full-bodied red wines. Founder and Vintner, Monty Dixon, would tell you he’s been making adult beverages since he was nine years old. In his elementary school library there was a book that gave crude instructions on how to make beer at home. Monty’s precocious and daring nature led to adventures in backyard chemistry. It wasn’t until his teens and young adult years that he would graduate to casual wine-making. But casual wasn’t enough for Monty. This is no vintner’s hobby house. Bar Z Winery combines art, science, and years of experience to create elegant wines. Monty’s passion and hard work go into every bottle making these entirely Texan wines contenders on the world stage. Bar Z Winery has competed against Napa Valley wines, French wines – often considered the greatest – yet their native Texan creations have taken home the gold. Much like his wine, Monty Dixon is unfiltered, robust, and wholly unique. If he has a free moment, he’ll happily bend your ear about the science of wine and Bar Z’s simple, yet effective philosophy: Let the wine be wine. Bar Z Winery prides itself on utilizing the unique Texas terroir to create a wine that expresses the hard work of the vineyard owners, the soil it was grown in, and the love of Texas shared by those who enjoy these unique, award-winning wines. We are available for check-in Monday through Wednesday 1:00 PM - 7:00 PM and Thursday through Sunday 1:00 PM - 9:00 PM. The Winery is closed at times not listed and the gate will be closed at that time. If you have a confirmed reservation, and you need to arrange for an after-hours arrival, please make sure to call the winery and speak with one of our staff at least an hour prior to closing to provide us with your ETA and get instructions for getting onto the property. IF WE DO NOT HEAR FROM YOU AN HOUR PRIOR TO CLOSING, THERE IS A CHANCE THE FRONT GATE WILL BE CLOSED AND LOCKED, AND YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO ACCESS THE PROPERTY, SO PLEASE CALL THE WINERY IF YOU ARE RUNNING LATE.

Lake Meredith National Recreation Area camping guide

Overview

About

Extensive recreation opportunities await you at this national park built around its titular lake. Sanford Dam creates the 10,000-acre artificial reservoir, where you can enjoy boating year-round.

Rent a craft onsite or bring your own; there are multiple boat launches for public use. Plentiful bass, catfish, crappie, and trout make Lake Meredith a popular fishing spot.

Once you're done on the water, see the region from the ground with a hiking expedition. The Harbor Bay Trail is the best if you're looking for sightseeing.

Steep terrain can make it a bit challenging for beginners, though. If you'd prefer a more relaxed stroll, try the Muillinaw Trail. This one's fairly flat and gives you a good view of the Canadian River.

Looking for a romantic evening under the stars with your travel partner? Lake Meredith features some beautiful overlooks perfect for those nights. The Fritch Fortress Campground and Sanford-Yake Campground provides the best lake views.

Notable campgrounds

  • Sunrise Campground: Wake to the glow of dawn over the water at this picturesque site.
  • Cedar Canyon: Nestled amid steep cliffs, Cedar Canyon is a camper's retreat.
  • Fritch Fortress: A favorite for its stunning lake views and easy water access.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot, as campgrounds fill up quickly during peak seasons.
  • Consider visiting during the weekdays for better availability.
  • Check for cancellations regularly, as plans change and spots may open up.
  • Explore nearby camping options for alternative sites when the park is full.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Lake Meredith is during the spring and fall when temperatures are moderate and the park's natural beauty is at its peak. Summer brings heat and larger crowds, while winter can be harsh with cold winds and limited services.

Know before you go

  • Always wear your Personal Flotation Device (PFD) while boating on the lake.
  • Be aware of the park's wildlife; keep a safe distance and do not feed the animals.
  • Check the park's website for alerts on current conditions and closures before your visit.
  • Accessibility varies across the park; inquire ahead for specific needs.
  • Remember to Clean, Drain, & Dry your boat to prevent the spread of invasive species.
