Lake Brownwood State Park is 537 acre park with cabins, lodges, group facilities, campsites, picnic areas, a fishing pier, crappie dock, and a boat ramp. The lake is approximately 7,300 surface acres in size and offers opportunities to our visitors for swimming, fishing, and other types of water recreation. The park is located near the geographical center of Texas and is within a 30 mile radius of several communities. The closest towns are Brownwood, Early, Bangs, May, Coleman, Santa Anna, and Cross Plains. The largest town is Brownwood with a population of 20,000+, and the others are much smaller, but each has its own unique attractions. Lake Brownwood was created in 1932. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) started construction of facilities in 1934. Almost all the buildings in the park were constructed in the 1930s by the CCC with the exceptions of the park restrooms and headquarters. Much of the original furniture created by the CCC is still in use in the cabins and lodges.
