Lake Brownwood State Park, in Brown County, is 537.5 acres acquired by deed from the Brown County Water Improvement District No. 1 in 1934 that was opened in 1938.

Near the geographical center of Texas, the park is situated on Lake Brownwood, a 7300-surface-acre reservoir 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.
Nature of the Area
The park offers an atmosphere of rustic beauty and tranquility, with miles of shoreline where wildflowers, white-tailed deer, ducks, raccoons, armadillos, squirrels, and birds can be observed in a natural setting. Popular fish include crappie, perch, catfish, and bass.

May 13 A Family Favorite by Dan and Tabatha Weber
park review stars; one to five I grew up at lake brownwood and loved every minute of it. Now that I am older with children of my own, I make sure to bring my kids back every opportunity that I get so that they may experience the same love for the area and people that I do. There is always excitement at Lake Brownwood wheather it be fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, or just relaxing with friends and family.

AS FOR MY FAMILY WE PREFER THIS PARK TO ANYOTHER WE HAVE EVER CAMPED AT AND YES WE WILL BE GOING BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR AND EXPECT IT WILL BE JUST AS WONDERFUL AS THE LAST YEARS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
