WELCOME TO MERIDIAN
This relatively small 505-acre park offers a surprising variety of
recreational opportunities. However you enjoy the park, help
us care for it by preserving the natural and cultural resources.
RECREATION-LOVERS ALIKE.
• Preserve the integrity of the historic CCC structures by using
them with respect.
• Hike on designated trails only and stay out of closed areas.
• Leave no trace! Keep your park and lake clean by not littering.
• Preserve the park for future generations and leave plants, animals, and fossils where you find them. Don’t pocket the past.

A PLACE OF BEAUTY
AND ABUNDANCE
“The returning soldiers of the war between the
United States and Mexico spread the news …
of a beautiful land on the west of the Brazos River,
and northwest from Waco; where rich valleys,
rank in verdure, lay between hills of Alpine beauty,
threaded by clear streams of the purest water, over
which ran all the game which the heart of the hunter
could long for (…)”
valleys, protected from the fires above. These regular fires
prevented trees from dominating the prairie landscape. In
more recent years, humans have prevented burns to protect
homes and livestock. In doing so, Ashe juniper and other
trees have spread across the plateau, resulting in the loss of
prairie habitat.
STEVE MASLOWSKI, USFWS
T
– Cureton and Cureton 1905
The beauty and abundance of the area has attracted
humans to this spot for thousands of years. Native Americans from the Tonkawa, Tawakoni, Wichita and Caddo
tribes established villages in the region. The presence of
Native Americans, plus its isolation, discouraged European
settlers from landing here until the mid-19th century.
Water and fire shaped the landscape of this region.
Years of erosion cut steep valleys through the Edwards
Limestone. Grassland fires, an important part of prairieecosystem health, burned across the high plateau. Forests
of Ashe juniper, oak and cedar elm thrived in the steep

STORIES IN STONE
EVERY GOLDEN-CHEEKED
WARBLER IS A NATIVE TEXAN!
Meridian State Park is home to the endangered golden-cheeked
warbler. These stunning birds only breed in the mixed Ashe
juniper (also known as cedar) and oak woodlands of Central
Texas. The warblers arrive on their breeding grounds in March.
Males attract a mate and defend their territory by singing a
buzzy “tweah-tweah-twee-sy” song. The females build a nest
using long strips of bark from the Ashe juniper held together by
spider webs. Females lay 3-4 eggs and both parents help raise
the young. Parents bring insects and spiders back to the nest to
feed the chicks. In July, the birds return to their wintering
grounds in southern Mexico and Central America.
The golden-cheeked warbler has suffered from habitat loss.
Ashe juniper woodlands, essential for the bird’s survival, have
disappeared due to urban sprawl and ranching activities.
Help protect Texan songbird species by planting native plant
species and encouraging local landowners to conserve
woodland habitat.
he Great Depression of the 1930s brought hardship to the nation. Many people faced desperate
times with few jobs, no money, and little hope.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Civilian
Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1933 to help conserve
America’s natural resources, and restore the nation’s hope
for the future. The CCC employed young men, ages 18-25,
and gave them the opportun

WELCOME
from Rodney Franklin, State Parks Director
This year is very special for Texas State Parks: We are
celebrating our 100-year anniversary in 2023. More and
more Texans are discovering the beauty of State Parks and
exploring the outdoors in new and adventurous ways. Our
teams across the state are incredibly excited to welcome
outdoor enthusiasts, especially those who have yet to
discover what our parks have to offer. The variety of Texas’ lands is unmatched; from
the mountains of west Texas to the Gulf shores, the Texas State Park system celebrates
and preserves the natural and cultural treasures that make Texas such a special place.
The 640,000-plus acres that make up the state park system are nearly as diverse as
the people of Texas. Since 1923, our mission has been to help connect our visitors with
the outdoors. As we honor those who have come before us, I invite a new generation to
be a part of the story of the lands that connect us all.
There is more to enjoy in our parks than you know, so please join us in our celebrations
and activities. Every day we look for new and better ways to ensure your state parks are
welcoming to every Texan, regardless of their background or experience being outside.
I hope you’ll visit soon and often, while bringing
your friends and family along. YOU are a natural and
we’re looking forward to celebrating the 100-year
anniversary of state parks with you!
WHAT’S NEW IN STATE PARKS
Galveston Island State Park reopened the
beachside of the park with a new headquarters,
campsites, restrooms, and more.
Bastrop State Park unveiled an extensive new
group of trails, the “Tree Army Trails,” many of
which are ADA-accessible.
Improvements and major repairs are planned for
Indian Lodge, Tyler, Inks Lake, Cedar Hill, South
Llano River, Eisenhower and several other state parks
All-terrain “GRIT” wheelchairs are now available at 10 parks with more adaptive
equipment on the way to help people of all abilities experience Texas State
Parks. Learn more about our accessibility efforts, page 14.
