Creating Lake Bryan
In the 1970s, Bryan, Texas, built a new power plant to help provide additional energy for the Brazos Valley. The natural gas-powered generators needed a cooling reservoir, so the city created Lake Bryan in 1974. The man-made lake is now a recreation hotspot in the Bryan-College Station area, featuring boating, fishing and mountain bike riding, among other activities. The neighborhoods that have popped up near the water offer easy access to the lake and its amenities, as well as a quieter feel than the more dense city of Bryan, while still having an easy drive to anything downtown.
The lake spans over 800 acres, offering scenic views and trails.
The neighborhood is known for its outdoor activities, including fishing and boating.

Recreation at Lake Bryan
The namesake of the neighborhood, as well as its main attraction, Lake Bryan is an 829-acre reservoir. People from across Aggieland escape to the lake, with boaters taking a day on the water while others cast a line to fish for largemouth bass. The lake also serves as the home of Texas A&M’s club crew team. Meanwhile, campers can set up to sleep under the stars at any one of the 24 campsites or 13 RV sites. Around the water, trails play host to mountain biking and hiking. Visitors to Lake Bryan pay a $5 daily entry fee or can buy a $75 annual pass. “The park is quite popular during the weekends, but the usage leans more towards the lake usage, with boaters, fishing, and swimmers,” says James Munnerlyn, an officer of the Brazos Valley Mountain Bike Association, which helps maintain the trails at Lake Bryan. “Some people do get out and hike or run the trails.”

Waterside dining at Lake Bryan
One of Lake Bryan's main draws, the Cadillac Ranch Bar & Grill sits just inside the park entrance. Diners can take in a sunset over the water while eating dinner or dance to a live band on the outdoor stage after dark. “The restaurant has changed many times, but it is really nice to have something on-premises to go socialize with friends, have a meal and a beverage or two,” Munnerlyn says. Closer to the residential portion of the neighborhood, Top of the Hill Burgers is a Bryan-area staple, with its low prices and greasy beef patties. Next door, the Benchley Country Store & Grill’s kitchen serves favorites like nachos to accompany its homey market. An H-E-B is just over 8 miles away, close to downtown Bryan.
