Lake Bryan
Yes, it’s a lake – but it’s also a mountain biker’s paradise. The trails around Lake Bryan were developed by the local mountain biking club, and there are options for both beginners and those looking for more of a challenge.
If you’re looking to spend a few hours by the water, this is a beautiful place to relax. You can also try your luck at fishing – the lake is stocked with largemouth bass, crappie, catfish and redfish.
For those who want to be on the water, kayak and stand-up paddleboard rentals are available.
Gibbons Creek Reservoir
This popular fishing hole is a bit farther from Bryan-College Station new homes, but anglers tell us it’s well worth the drive. Largemouth bass are the most predominant fish found at the reservoir, with an average size of 10 pounds. Other commonly found species of fish are channel, blue, and flathead catfish, white and black crappie, and bluegill.
Bee Creek Park
Bookmark Bee Creek Park as a place to cool off when the temps soar this summer. It has a swimming pool, wading pool and small water park, as well as playgrounds for the little ones. The trail at Bee Creek Park connects to Lemon Tree Park and then goes on to College Station Cemetery. Sports enthusiasts will also find lighted tennis courts, softball fields and a sand volleyball court.
Wolf Pen Creek Park
Its nine-hole disc golf course makes this park a popular destination for those who buy new homes in Bryan-College Station.

One of the most popular events held in the amphitheater is the annual Starlight Music Series, featuring live music of all different genres.
