LK Meredith Reservoir, located in Sanford, Texas, was constructed in 1965 and named after the late L.K. Meredith, a prominent businessman and rancher in the region. The reservoir has a capacity of 1.2 billion gallons and is used for various purposes, including flood control, municipal water supply, and recreation. The surface flow into the reservoir is primarily from the Canadian River, which is fed by snowmelt from the Rocky Mountains. The reservoir also receives some water from local streams and creeks. The primary recreational uses of the reservoir include fishing, boating, and camping. Additionally, the reservoir supports a significant agricultural industry in the surrounding area, particularly for cotton and wheat crops.
