Congress created the Lake Meredith National Recreation Area in Texas to protect its scenic, scientific, and cultural value for public recreation. The area covers the land shown on a 1990 boundary map, which the Secretary of the Interior can adjust slightly. Most federal land there went to the National Park Service, but land needed for the Canadian River Project stays with the Bureau of Reclamation.

(a) In general. Congress created the Lake Meredith National Recreation Area in Texas. The goal is to let the public use and enjoy the land and water around Lake Meredith, and to protect its scenic, scientific, and cultural value. (b) Area included. The recreation area covers the land and water shown on a 1990 boundary map, called the "Fee-Take Line" map. The map is kept on file at National Park Service offices for public viewing. The Secretary of the Interior can make small changes to the boundary over time. (c) Transfer. (1) Except as noted in paragraph (2), all federal land, water, and related rights in the recreation area transfer to the National Park Service. (2) Land needed to run, maintain, or replace the Canadian River Project — which supplies city and industrial water and controls floods — stays under the Bureau of Reclamation instead.
