Lake Meredith is a lake in Crowley County, Colorado, just south of Sugar City.
Sources differ on its name, with some calling it Lake Meredith, Lake Meredith Reservoir, or Meredith Reservoir.
The lake is shallow, so the constant winds in the area make it turbid. The average depth is six feet.
Recreation
