Lake Brownwood State Park is a 537.5 acre property, located in Brown County, and was opened in 1938. Near the geographical center of Texas, the park is situated on Lake Brownwood, a 7300-surface-acre reservoir that was created by damming Pecan Bayou, which is a tributary of the Colorado River. Many structures in use today, were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the early 1930s, from timber and native rock found in the park.
At this state park, you can enjoy the outdoors with fishing, a picnic or camping in tents or cabins (with advanced registration), hiking (2.5 miles of hiking trails and a .5-mile nature trail.), boating (motors allowed), water skiing (jet skis allowed), nature study, swimming (in an unsupervised swimming area), and bird watching.
Discover the Lake Brownwood State Park this Saturday at the Open House.
