Just like a clownfish lives in sea anemones for protection, the White-throated woodrat (Neotoma albigula) makes its nest among the prickly pear and cholla cactus found at lakemeredithnps.
#FunFact: We completed a land project at Lake Meredith National Recreation Area in 2018. The 3-acre land parcel was a part of a contiguous area of prehistoric and archaeological resources dating back more than 13,000 years. In addition to evidence of the Antelope Creek people, the recreation area’s cultural resources consist of village sites, approximately 700 quarry pits, and 552 archaeological sites.
