*UPDATE 09 JULY 2021* After our mandatory drying period for roads after a flood, all Corps of Engineers recreation areas EXCEPT Kimball and Plowman are open for public use. Please be safe if you are out on the lake as the recent rain and flooding that we've had will increase debris in the water. As always, make sure you wear your life jacket!

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, welcomes you to Whitney Lake in Central Texas. Whitney Lake is located on the main stem of the Brazos River. The Whitney Lake Dam and Powerhouse are located approximately 5.5 miles southwest of Whitney, 30 miles north of Waco, and 65 miles southwest of Fort Worth (see Vicinity Map).

Our missions are: to provide flood control for the Brazos River Watershed, supply reliable and renewable power and energy, and provide recreation opportunities for some of the best fishing, camping, and boating in Texas. Come out and visit us and remember to wear your life jacket!

ATTENTION:

Whitney Lake no longer accepts cash payments for any USACE operated campground or boat ramp. If you need assistance, please contact us at (254)622-3332. We appreciate your cooperation.
