Set on the shores of Lake Brownwood in Brown County, Lake Brownwood State Park is a state park administered by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and is home to a diverse array of birds and wildlife. The 537.5-acre tract was developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the late 1930s and opened to the public in 1938, with the dam being used to control flooding along the Pecan Bayou. During the Second World War, the park was used as a recreational site for soldiers based at Camp Bowie, and today, the park features a recreation hall, picnic areas with tables and benches, fire pits, culverts, and cabins for overnight stays.
