History: 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.
Activities: Activities are picnicking; camping; hiking (2.5 miles of hiking
trails and a .5-mile nature trail.); boating (motors allowed); water skiing (jet
skis allowed); fishing; nature study; swimming (in an unsupervised swimming
area); and bird watching. |
