Sources differ on its name, with some calling it Lake Meredith,[1] Lake Meredith Reservoir,[5] or Meredith Reservoir.[3]
The lake is shallow, so the constant winds in the area make it turbid. The average depth is six feet.[3]
The lake is popular among jet skiers. Camping at the lake is free, but amenities are limited.[4] There is one dirt boat ramp and one jet ski ramp.[2]
