Lake Brownwood offers multiple public boat ramp access points for recreational boating and fishing.

The Lake Brownwood Dam ramp features a lighted, multiple-lane facility with excellent courtesy dock and large parking capacity at no fee, while Flatrock Park provides a lighted two-lane ramp with parking for approximately 50 vehicles.

Note that zebra mussels have been detected in the lake—boaters must clean, drain, and dry their vessels before leaving to prevent spread of this invasive species.
