Lake Brownwood State Park

Lake Brownwood State Park sits on the shores of a 7,300-acre reservoir in the rolling terrain between the Hill Country and West Texas. CCC-built stone cabins, a council bluff overlook, and lakefront camping make it a classic Texas state park experience. The fishing is excellent for bass, catfish, and crappie.
