In April, 1973, Lake Meredith reached its record high capacity of almost 102 feet deep. Beginning in about 1999; however, drought has plagued the Texas Panhandle, and lake levels dropped year after year. In 2011, withdrawals from Lake Meredith for drinking water ceased, and the Harbor Marina and docks were closed and removed. As of this writing, the lake reached its all time low of 27.03 feet or just or 1.3% capacity on June 6, 2013. Photo by Kathy Weiser- Alexander.
