About Lake Bryan

Lake Bryan is a scenic outdoor recreation destination owned by the City of Bryan and operated by Bryan Texas Utilities. This 829-acre cooling reservoir sits along 8200 Sandy Point Rd in Bryan, TX, and serves as a cooling pond for the Dansby Power Plant while hosting a variety of events and activities year-round. Whether you’re planning a day on the water, a competitive race, or simply an afternoon by the shore, we’ve got you covered with practical details, nearby lodging, and easy access to amenities.

Hours and access are consistent with the seasons: the lake is open year‑round with 9 a.m.–8 p.m. (Dec–Feb) or 9 a.m.–10 p.m. (Mar–Nov). Entry is the best available price per person (under 10 free), and there’s an annual per-car pass for the best available price. The lake can accommodate a range of events—from mountain bike races and triathlons to boat races and circuses—making it a versatile spot for locals and visitors alike.

On-site amenities include the Cadillac Ranch Bar & Grill right on the lake shore, offering a casual dining option with views of the water. When you’re planning a visit, you’ll want a practical plan for parking and getting around, plus reliable recommendations for nearby lodging and dining to complete your day trip.
