Lake Brownwood State Park, Protected natural area in Brown County, Texas.

Lake Brownwood State Park is a protected area in Brown County covering over 500 acres along a large reservoir. The grounds feature shoreline, native trees, and natural rock formations throughout the property.

Brown County voters created a water improvement district in 1926 to control flooding on Pecan Bayou; the dam was finished and the reservoir filled in 1932. In 1933 the Texas State Parks Board acquired 537.5 acres by deed from the district, and work began that year under the Civil Works Administration. CCC Company 872 arrived in November 1934, Company 849 followed in October 1936, and the park opened in 1938.

The park's structures from the 1930s show how builders used stone and timber from the surrounding area. Visitors can observe the craftsmanship of that era reflected in the buildings throughout the grounds.

The park is open daily from 6 AM to 10 PM, with overnight guests receiving gate codes for entry outside these hours. Those wanting to fish, walk trails, or spend time by the water should follow the shoreline and explore the marked paths.

During World War II the U.S. Army leased forty acres here as a recreation area for soldiers at Camp Bowie, building a 1,500-man camp with tents, basketball and tennis courts and a football field. To honor the troops, the State Parks Board renamed the park "36th Division State Park" between 1946 and 1956. That area is now the Willow Point Campground.
