Lake Brownwood today: level, trend, source and access
Level against full pool
On Nov 5, 2026 the surface sat at 1,422.7 ft, 2.3 ft below the full-pool mark of 1,425 ft. The Texas Water Development Board rates its conservation storage at 89% full. Of the 15 Texas lakes on this site with a live percent-full reading, it ranks 7 of 15.
Trend
Between Oct 7 and Nov 5 (29 days) the level rose 0.1 ft, less than 0.1 ft a week. The high in that window was 1,422.8 ft on Oct 17 and the low was 1,422.5 ft on Oct 14. In the last 7 days it rose 0.1 ft. The last 24 hours changed it by less than 0.1 ft.
Data source
The elevation comes from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) daily reservoir record for Lake Brownwood (Water Data for Texas, reservoir "brownwood"), last reported Nov 5, 2026. Percent full is TWDB conservation storage divided by conservation capacity, from the same daily record. Feet from full pool, the trend and the figures above are computed from that reading and the published full-pool elevation; none is typed by hand. Brown County Water Improvement District runs the dam on the Pecan Bayou.
Recreation status
Status: healthy. At 89% full it is 29.0 points above 60%, the line above which most ramps stay in the water, so a normal ramp day is likely. Ramps still close on their own schedules, so check yours with Brown County Water Improvement District.
Check an elevation against full pool
For readers outside the U.S., the surface of Lake Brownwood is about 433.6 m above sea level, and full pool is about 434.3 m.
Check any elevation yourself. Type a level in feet above sea level (a ramp cutoff, a marina mark) to see how far it sits below full pool and in meters.
