Merritt Reservoir
Almost any activity involving water sports can be enjoyed in and around Merritt Reservoir's 72,900 acre-feet of water. Seventy three miles of tree lined shore provide swimming, camping, picnicking, pan and game fishing. Whether you plan to roam the prairie or walk in peaceful solitude along miles of white sandy beaches, the area will meet your every need. Water skiers and sailboaters find the reservoir a haven, and ice fishing remains a popular wintertime sport.
