Other Names

Canadian River ORV Area, Chicken Creek, Lake Meredith

Last Known StatusOpen

Overlooking the south-western side of Lake Meredith and bordering the Canadian River, this area offers a wide variety of terrain that consists of wide trails with whoops, sand, mud and the occasional water crossing. This area is larger than nearby Blue Creek Bridge, which is around 275 acres.

Camping is permitted and is free but is primitive. All vehicles must display the Texas OHV Decal which can be purchased at nearby motorcycle shops or online.
